With the Chicago Cubs in first place, and the NL Playoff picture starting to form, we take a look at how the potential playoff preview shakes out.

The Chicago Cubs rally to have their sights on October, up 4 1/2 games in the NL Central entering Friday, and with a firm opportunity to defend their crown.

As baseball’s regular season is just over a week from the final curtain, Oct. 1, we thought why not check out the MLB Playoffs and the potential NL playoff picture. Some teams we know for sure are in, and the rest we make our best guess.

The NL Wild Card is still down to as many as four teams, and three with a viable shot at the second Wild Card.
