How about this scenario? What about Lackey starting Game 1, with Lester as the piggyback in relief? Try to get Lackey thru 3-4, try to get Lester thru 3-4. With Davis potentially unavailable, if the Cubs do somehow have a lead on Kershaw, they could get by with only 1-2 innings from their other relievers. Game 1 going that way would allow the Cubs to bring back Lester to start Game 5 (and have him in the pen for a potential Game 7). Starting Lester in Game 2, means him starting game 6, which means no Lester in a potential Game 7. It would also set up Q and Hendricks in 6 and 7 which I like, especially with Lester (proven out of the pen) and Arrieta (stuff plays best out of the pen of the remaining SP) available in the last game. 1- Lackey/Lester 2- Q 3- Hendricks 4- Arrieta 5- Lester 6- Q 7- Hendricks
