Cubs' Central Division Clinching Scenarios

The Chicago Cubs had a chance to clinch the Central Division, but they came up just short in a loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. 

That loss, coupled with a Milwaukee Brewers win over the Cincinnati Reds, ensured that the Central Division race would continue for at least one more day. 

Chicago Cubs' 2017 Push for the Playoffs

Best Case Scenario: 

Even with the loss, the Cubs can still clinch the division title as soon as Wednesday night, as a Cubs win or a Brewers loss will seal the Central crown for Chicago. 

Worst Case Scenario: 

Even if the Cubs somehow manage to lose their final five games in a row, they could still clinch the division title with just one Brewers loss. 

If the Cubs lose six in a row and the Brewers win five in a row, the teams would play a one-game playoff next week to decide the division title.
