Unable to derail the New York Mets' playoff charge, the Washington Nationals will get an opportunity to eliminate the Chicago Cubs from the National League race as the clubs begin a four-game series at Wrigley Field on Thursday night.

Coming off a disappointing two-games-to-one home-series loss to the Oakland Athletics, the Cubs (77-75) are seven games out of the final NL wild-card spot with just 10 to play. They could be eliminated by the end of MLB action on Friday.
