In some ways, it's perfect that these two are coming together again, because way back in January, we crunched the numbers and showed that these two clubs were projected to have the most wins in baseball, and while the Cubs didn't quite reach that level, the fact is that it was very easy to expect these to be the two best teams in the NL, and here they are, battling to go to the World Series. Now, we're on to more important questions, like whether or not Clayton Kershaw can finally make his postseason mark -- he can, if Dave Roberts doesn't push him too far -- and what impact Thursday's wild NLDS finale and ensuing travel problems will have on the Cubs.
