After a brilliant start by Kyle Hendricks in the series-opener, the
Chicago Cubs head into Game 2 of the NLDS with an almost all right-handed lineup against Gio Gonzalez and the Washington Nationals.
Anthony Rizzo is the only lefty for the Cubs, as Albert Almora Jr. gets the start in center field, while Ian Happ makes his postseason debut in left. Ben Zobrist starts in right field for the second game in a row.
Almora was a certainty to crack the lineup, as he's destroyed lefties all year. Even Rizzo, the only lefty for the Cubs, has a .260 average this season against left-handed pitching.
First pitch is at 4:30 p.m., with Jon Lester making the start for the Cubs.
