How to watch Cubs vs. Padres as a trip to the NLDS is at stake

The Cubs and Padres will meet again in the NL Wild Card Series with a trip to the NLDS on the line, shifting from last year’s postseason to Petco Park for Game 1 on Tuesday, Sept. 29. Chicago won the decisive third game in their last matchup at Wrigley Field, but both clubs now look different. The Cubs must monitor Alex Bregman after multiple facial fractures from a late-season foul ball, despite his return to play. San Diego, still powered by a deep lineup and one of baseball’s most dangerous bullpens anchored by closer Mason Miller, will look to leverage home-field advantage in a best-of-three series.
