 These franchises are meeting for the first time in the postseason since the 2003 NLCS, which the Marlins won in seven games on their way to a World Series title. The Cubs are 3-8 in home playoff games against NL East opponents since the 1994 division realignment.

 The Cubs won two of their last three games, scoring a total of 25 runs while playing the White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field. The Cubs are averaging 3.45 runs per game at home this season but are scoring 5.59 runs per game on the road. That 2.14-run difference is the largest in the majors this season.

 Miami won three of its last four games of the regular season, all on the road. The Marlins have an 11-15 (.423) record at home this season and a 20-14 (.588) record on the road. That .165 road-over-home difference in winning percentage is the largest in the majors.

 Javier Baez entered this season with a career .298 batting average against left-handed pitching and an .894 OPS. This season, Baez is batting .218 with a .654 OPS against left-handers.

 Jesus Aguilar leads the National League in both go-ahead RBI (12) and game-winning RBI (eight) this season. The Marlins are 14-9 when Aguilar has at least one RBI, and they are 17-20 when Aguilar doesn't drive in any runs or doesn't play.

 In 2019, Kyle Schwarber reached base nine times in 19 plate appearances (.474 OBP) against the Marlins. With a slash line of .341/.413/.683, Schwarber's career 1.096 OPS against Miami is his highest against any single opponent (min. 20 PA).

Chicago's Wrigley Field is the site for a best-of-three National League wild-card series that will feature the experience of the third-seeded Chicago Cubs against the youth of the sixth-seeded Miami Marlins.
The Cubs, who are in the playoffs for the fifth time in the past six years, are expected to start either Yu Darvish (8-3, 2.01 ERA) or Kyle Hendricks (6-5, 2.88) in the Wednesday opener.

Youthful Marlins take aim at experienced Cubs
