This seems like even more of a bullpen game for the Sox unless I'm missing something. Newcomb can go multiple innings, faced 8 guys on Sunday, and is pretty good, but hasn't gone more than three innings all year. 

Brazoban has pitched two of the last three days, Richards the last two, Fedde is going to be down. Anthony Kay is next in line in their current four man rotation but he pitched Saturday so that would be short rest. Guessing it's Newcome for 2-3, Hicks for a couple, Hagen Smith for one or two, figure it out from there.

Cubs, as shown above, are in ok shape, ideally hoping for a lopsided game so that Rea or Civale can let the short relief guys get a night off.
