After St. Louis got lucky by getting to face our 3-4-5, the next few series against good teams are shaping up well as far as the the Cubs' scheduled starters go. Pittsburgh (May 2-4) would go 1-2-3 Washington (May 5-8) would go 4-5-1-2 We burn 3-4-5 against San Diego (May 9-11) Pittsburgh (May 13-15) gets 1-2-3 Milwaukee (May 17-19) gets 4-5-1 SF (May 20-22) gets 2-3-4 St. Louis (May 23-25) gets 5-1-2 We burn 3-4-5 against Philly (May 27-29) LA Dodgers get 1-2-3-4 (May 30-June 2). So even though the schedule gets tougher in May, the Cubs pretty much have the ideal pitching matchups set up. The only two times 3-4-5 are set to go are against crappy teams and Jake will go against each good team except for San Francisco.
