On The Horizon: Cubs vs. Red Sox series preview

The Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox are adjusting their final regular-season series schedule ahead of a forecasted nor'easter in Boston. Major League Baseball officials arranged a Friday doubleheader at Fenway Park to ensure games are completed before severe weather arrives over the weekend.

The timing of the series carries significant postseason implications, particularly for Chicago's playoff seeding. By shifting the schedule, both clubs are slated to finish their regular season a day earlier than the rest of the league to avoid major rain disruptions.
