So there’s still much to determine with a half dozen games remaining when it comes to the Cubs’ playoff seed and where they’ll play an opening-round playoff series.</p><p>A Cubs lineup without Bregman would be one without its second best hitter this season, particularly since his bat caught fire around the All-Star break. He has a 1.006 OPS, with 18 doubles and 19 home runs, in his last 61 games.
