The Cubs won a milestone 100th game. They can now cruise into the playoffs with NL home field advantage.
It was reported that Joe Maddon is looking for an 11 man pitching staff (down from the normal 13) to increase the bench to 14 players.
It should be a fairly easy exercise to forecast the playoff roster for Round 1:
Starters: (8)
LF Bryant CF Fowler RF Heyward
3B Baez SS Russell 2B Zobrist 1B Rizzo
C Contreras
Bench: (6)
OF Soler
C Ross
C Montero
OF Szczur
OF Coghlan
IN LaStella
Rotation: (4)
Lester, Arrieta, Hendricks, Lackey
Bullpen: (7)
Montgomery, Cahill, Wood, Edwards,
Strop, Rondon, Chapman
