Win or go home.

After Thursday’s 6-0 win over Milwaukee at Wrigley Field, the series shifts back to American Family Field for a decisive Game 5 in Milwaukee. The winner punches their ticket to the National League Championship Series, which starts October 13, against the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers.

Both teams have been evenly matched throughout the season. The NL Central rivals met 13 times this year and the Cubs own a 7-6 record against the Brewers in the regular season. In games at American Family Field in 2025 during the regular season, Chicago is 3-3.

Now, with the season on the line, both teams look to get one step closer to the World Series. The Cubs are hoping to make it back to the World Series for the first time since 2016 while the Brewers hope to end a 43-year World Series drought.
