Red Sox and Cubs probably play three games to conclude season; unclear how many will be at Fenway Park

The Cubs did clinch their playoff berth Thursday. So they are looking for seeding. Likewise, while the Red Sox are probably the second Wild Card, though there is a scenario where they fall to the third Wild Card due to losing some tiebreakers.

The action kicks off with a doubleheader: Sunday's game was moved to Friday afternoon at 1:05 and Friday's game was moved up to 6:05. Saturday remains scheduled as normal, but it is expected to be rained out. In that case (and maybe sometime Friday we'll hear) the game will be moved to Sunday. And with the aforementioned rain, it's believed the teams may fly to Tampa and play at Tropicana Field as a neutral site. As Joe Castiglione would say "can you believe it?"

Will Willson Contreras play this weekend? Don't count on it, per the man himself. He may not feel ready by Tuesday. He does recognize how hard his teammates are playing every day and wants to help. Thanks again, Rangers!
