That second win, as was later clarified, was included to reflect the Cubs' Wild Card victory over the Pirates that preceded this National League Division Series. Others, though, might glean that the Cubs' typist was simply making the same assumption so many others have: When Arrieta pitches, as he will in Game 3 on Monday, the Cubs win.
And while that has been the case in each of Arrieta's last 14 starts, perhaps folks have forgotten that when it comes to the Cardinals facing aces in October, regular-season results serve as an inaccurate harbinger.
"The thing with us is when we get to the postseason, we don't care who is pitching," Kolten Wong said.
