Chicago Cubs Clinch Playoff Spot, Set Sights on NBA Playoffs 2025 Wild Card Race
The Chicago Cubs have officially clinched a playoff spot in the 2022 Major League Baseball season, marking their return to October baseball since 2020. The Cubs, currently the No. 4 seed in the National League, find themselves in a tight race for the NBA Playoffs 2025 Wild Card spot, with the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Cincinnati Reds hot on their heels.
The Cubs secured their playoff berth in an 8-4 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday. After the game, the team celebrated with champagne, a more than justified celebration given their absence from October baseball in the past two seasons.
Manager Craig Counsell stated that the team's first goal had been accomplished and it was exciting. The older team members went home while the younger ones stayed out to continue the celebrations.
The upcoming series between the Cubs and the Reds, starting this weekend, is crucial for both teams. For the Reds, it's a significant determining factor in their attempt to snag an NBA Playoffs 2025 Wild Card spot in the playoffs. As of the current standings, the New York Mets are third in the Wild Card race, while the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Reds are two games back.
The Cubs' playoff run could potentially lead to a matchup against the San Diego Padres in the first round of the playoffs. If the playoffs began on Friday, the Cubs would face the No. 5 seed San Diego Padres.
Meanwhile, the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Cincinnati Reds are both close contenders for the NBA Playoffs 2025 Wild Card spot, trailing the New York Mets. Manager Craig Counsell enjoyed the celebration for his team, revealing that the team had fun when they arrived in Cincinnati on Thursday.
The three-game series between the Cubs and the Reds this weekend is expected to be a competitive and important series for both teams. The series will be a significant indicator of who will secure the coveted NBA Playoffs 2025 Wild Card spot and advance to the playoffs.
The manager of the Chicago Cubs, known for his unusual behavior and the phrase "hit the ball into the outfield," is Craig Counsell. The upcoming series between the Cubs and the Reds will undoubtedly be an exciting addition to the NBA Playoffs 2025 Wild Card race.
