NLDS Game 1: Jon Lester set to take on former teammate in Lackey

With the N.L. Wild Card in their back pockets, the Chicago Cubs are set to take on N.L. Central winning St. Louis Cardinals in what’s promising to be one heck of a match-up.

The Cardinals (100-62) had Chicago’s number early on, but it didn’t take long until this new-look club was able to bounce back by winning games in both St. Louis and at Wrigley Field.
