MLB could not ask for a better matchup between two of the most storied franchises in baseball history.
The Chicago Cubs come into the postseason with the best balance of starting pitching, offense, defense and bullpen of all playoff teams. However, they carry the biggest weight on their shoulders in not having won a World Series in 100 years.
This pressure in addition to facing a very solid Los Angeles Dodgers team, will make advancing to the NLCS that much more difficult. However, the Cubs simply have too much depth. Specifically, their starting pitching will allow them to separate themselves from the Dodgers and advance to the NLCS.
Pitching Matchups (First 3 games listed):
Derek Lowe vs Ryan Dempster
Chad Billingsley vs Carlos Zambrano
Rich Harden vs Hiroki Kuroda
Season Series: Cubs won 5 of 7 games
Prediction: Cubs in 4 games
