There are less than 20 games left in the Major League Baseball Regular Season. After being swept by the Milwaukee Brewers, the World Champion Chicago Cubs sit dangerously only 2 games in first place. But it's not just the Brewers that are on their tail, it's also the Cubs hated rival, the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Cubs, Brewers and Cardinals are all off tonight. Each team has 19 games left and this Division race is sure to come down to the wire. This is a drastic difference to how the Cubs spent their final weeks of the regular season in 2016. They had a huge lead and were able to rest players and coast into the postseason in a stress free environment.
<hr>
The Cubs will open up a 3 game series at Wrigley Field tomorrow against the New York Mets. The Mets are 17 games under .500 and have little to play for. They will send starting pitcher, Robert Gsellman, to the mound. With his ERA at 5.44, the Cubs offense should feast off of him. When the Mets are at bat, they will face Jose Quintana. Quintana joined the team after the All Star Break and the left handed pitcher was just the shot in the arm that the team needed. They will look for him to have a big night and stop the bleeding.

The Brewers are back in Milwaukee for a 3 game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates are out of the playoff race but are still a dangerous team. And the Pirates best pitcher, Gerrit Cole, takes the mound. The Brewers will send Brent Suter to face the Pirate offense. Suter has had decent success but hasn't pitched much this season. It will be a tough test for the Brew Crew tomorrow night.

The Cardinals are back home in St. Louis to host the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds have had an awful season but have been playing the role of spoiler as of late. But they are sending Robert Stephenson and his 5.15 ERA to the mound. And the other good news for the Cardinals, is that they are sending their ace, Lance Lynn and his 2.94 ERA to face the Reds offense.
<hr>
As important as these games are for all 3 teams, the real test may be in Chicago this weekend. The Cubs will host the Cardinals for a 3 game series starting on Friday. If either team can pull the sweep, it will have serious consequences on how the rest of the season plays out. 
<hr>
We love the Cubs here in Chicago, but for the first time in the last month, I am worried about their chances to close out the season and make the playoffs. Let us know what you think. Thank you for following @steemsports and you can catch me @scottybuckets Cheers!
