The Chicago Cubs urgently need to get back to winning ways when they take on the Miami Marlins in Thursday's series finale.
Coming into the series, the Cubs were in pole position to secure a National League wild card spot. However, back-to-back defeats mean that they are just three games clear of the Arizona Diamondbacks with four games remaining. With the Padres and Phillies also in the mix for the three wild card spots, the race for a postseason berth looks set to go right down to the wire.
Unfortunately for the Marlins, their impressive victories over the Cubs this week have come far too late to save their season. Miami are currently nine games back from the NL wild card places, so they just have pride to play for in their remaining four games.

Our Chicago Cubs vs Miami Marlins Prediction
Miami have put a serious dent in Chicago's playoff hopes this week, but we are backing the Cubs to turn things around on Thursday and secure a vital win.
The Marlins' road record has been dreadful this season, so despite this week's heroics, they are a tough team to trust away from loanDepot Park.
When you also factor in Chicago's urgent need for a victory, we think the Cubs will come out firing on all cylinders here and romp to a comfortable W.
Our prediction for Chicago Cubs vs Miami Marlins is: Cubs (-1.5) to win.
