The Cubs took Game 1 of the series thanks to a strong showing by their bullpen and some timely home runs from Seiya Suzuki and Carson Kelly. The Padres kept hope alive in Game 2, however, with Manny Machado delivering a home run and four pitchers combining to throw a shutout.

Logic and the rules of probability suggest that won&#8217;t hold for much longer. Still, the Cubs can only hope that right-hander Jameson Taillon spins a good enough start to make it the case here. The Padres, conversely, will start former Cubs right-hander Yu Darvish with the hope of advancing for a date against MLB&#8217;s top-seeded Milwaukee Brewers.<\/p>\n<p>Where to watch Game 3<\/p>\n<p>Date:\u00a0Thursday, Oct. 2 |\u00a0Time:\u00a05:08 p.m. ET<br \/>Location:\u00a0Wrigley Field (Chicago)<br \/>TV channel:\u00a0ESPN\u00a0|\u00a0Live stream:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fubo.tv\/welcome\/leagues\/191273?irad=377812&amp;irmp=416484&amp;sharedid=HTW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">fubo<\/a>\u00a0(Try for free)<br \/>Probable pitchers:\u00a0RHP Yu Darvish (SDP) vs. RHP Jameson Taillon (CHC)<br \/>Odds:\u00a0CHI -121 | SDP +100 (via\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/betting\/news\/draftkings-promo-code\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DraftKings<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>CBS Sports will have live updates, analysis, highlights and more throughout Game 3.
