There you have it. My thoughts on the rotation for the playoffs. Things may change, but given the match-ups for the rest of the season and how the team has performed with each pitcher, the case is solid. If the Chicago Cubs want to celebrate their first World Series Championship in 108 years, they must select the best rotation given how pitchers have performed in 2016.
