Jon Lester has to start Game 1, doesn’t he? Followed by Kyle Hendricks in NLDS contest No. 2 and Jose Quintana in the one after that?
The Cubs brain trust will apparently meet Wednesday to hash out the postseason rotation and I suppose there is some uncertainty going into that pow wow. But the answers seem relatively clear. The fact that the Nationals are better against righties, but only slightly better, gives going with two lefties in the first three games the most appeal.
