Zambrano has been one of the best road pitchers in the league over the last few years...This rotation makes the most sense. I've seen some people who think the Cubs should go with a 3 man rotation, but in doing so, Dempster would have to come back on short rest for game 4 on the road. I have confidence in Lilly to do a good job, and if necessary, come back with a rested Dempster in game 5 at Wrigley. I have confidence in Ted Lilly as well. Since the start of June He is 7-2 with 3 no decisions and a 3.07 ERA on the road. The Cubs won one of the no decisions and he gave up only two runs in each of the other two. At first, I wanted the "weak link" to pitch game two at Wrigley. Throw in a lefty to split up the righties, and he figures to get more offensive support at home. However, I like keeping Harden on about six days rest and Lilly has pitched well on the road.
