The other surprise in the Cubs lineup is Chris Coghlan starting in right field over Jason Heyward. Coghlan has faced Indians Game 1 starter Corey Kluber, and was 1-for-3 with a double. Ben Zobrist has the most at-bats against Kluber among the Cubs (13), but only one hit. Heyward has gone 2-for-28 in the postseason. Coghlan has gone 0-for-4 in the postseason, but he has been solid against right-handed pitching in his career (.268/.341/.424).
Think about this: On Opening Day against the Angels, Coghlan was with the Athletics, Baez was on the DL, Heyward was batting second and Jorge Soler was the designated hitter.
