Arrieta's run would seem to end any remaining ambiguity about who would start in a wild card playoff game.

Of course, assuming it's against the Pirates, Maddon may figure that if he can't start Arrieta twice against the Cardinals, we'd be up against it, so gamble with Lester, then have Arrieta twice and Lester once against the Cards.  It'll be interesting.  Yes, we have to get to the Cards first.  Understood.
