It's do-or-die for The Chicago Cubs Wednesday, as the team will play a win-or-go-home game against the Milwaukee Brewers at Wrigley Field for Game 3 in their best-of-five NL Division Series.
This time, the Cubs need to prevail in three straight elimination contests to keep their season alive. The Brewers have a 2-0 lead in the series following 9-3 and 7-3 wins in Milwaukee when they ambushed Chicago’s thinned pitching staff and limited the Cubs to 10 total hits.

Teams falling behind 2-0 in a best-of-five postseason series have won just 10 out of 90 times .
