The series will go 4 games. We win game 1, Cards win game 2, and back at Wrigley we finish it off.
Book it.

Just win the first one with Lester and take your chances on the rest of the series.
I'd like to just sweep them and be done with it.

It looks like the following are locks
Game 1 - Lester
Game 3 - Arrieta
I tend to believe that the way it sets up is
Win Game 1: Hendricks - Arrieta - Hammel - Lester
Lose Game 1: Hammel/Bullpen - Arrieta - Hendricks - Lester
I don't think he wants anyone other than Lester for a potential game 5 and I don't think he'll pitch Hendricks in such a tight situation (down 1-0, on the road).

Arrieta is the projected Game 3 starter at several of the sites I've looked at. They could be wrong, but if that's the case, that's 4 days. That puts Lester at Game 4. You could be right, though.

arrieta in game 3 makes sense because it is 4 days rest as normal. but lester in a game 4 would be on 3 days rest

Unless the cubs MLB.com site isn't current, Hammel isn't on the 25 man roster-

I know that. If it isn't out yet, it's a big assumption that Hammel will be on the 25 man.

There's NO WAY the Cubs playoff roster is only three starting pitchers. He might go Haren (as he had a sub 1 ERA this year in two starts against the Cards) but I'd doubt it.

Why Hammel? Why not Haren? Haren actually looked good his last few starts.
