Really great to win the opener here. With Darvish tomorrow, that's probably a disadvantage game. And with Castillo going on Thursday, that's probably a disadvantage game too. But win the first one, no chance of getting swept obviously, and then take a couple of shots in disadvantage games and hope you can pull one of them out somehow or other.
I can't remember very far, but I know the cubs have won at least the last two starts by Darvish. And after yesterday off day and tonight being a light night for the bullpen, Maddon should feel entitled to get the bullpen in early tomorrow. Let Darvish go 3 or 4 innings, and see how it's going. But if he's super wild as usual but somehow they're tie or leading after 3-4 innings, be ready to pull him early.
Or, maybe he'll be sharp and be able to throw 5-10 changeups for strikes tomorrow, you never know. (Fastball being his changeup).
