Berselius wrote a preview earlier today for this series that you all should read. Two former teammates get the start tonight and while John Lackey has enjoyed some success with the Cardinals, I'm still not all that impressed by him. The Cubs send Jon Lester to the mound. Lester's ERA and win/loss record weren't what a lot of people hoped for, but his peripherals were right in line with what he'd done in past years.
Lineups
Cubs
Dexter Fowler, CF
Kyle Schwarber, RF (moved to RF after initially set to start in LF)
Kris Bryant, 3B
Anthony Rizzo, 1B
Starlin Castro, 2B

I'm picking the Cubs 3-1 in this series and I think it starts tonight with a 7-3 win.
