Rotation versus Roberto Perez
The Cubs feature a three-headed monster at catcher, and all played value able roles this postseason. Combined, the combination for Willson Contreras, David Ross, and Miguel Montero hit three home runs and 10 runs batted in. Montero’s grand slam versus the Los Angeles Dodgers pushed the Cubs to a Game 1 NLCS win. Ross and Contreras can hold runners to bases and prevent steals.
Roberto Perez may have played in 61 games during the season, he started every game during the ALCS. He scored four runs so far this postseason, with a home run as well. But his production does not come close to that of the Cubs’ catchers.
Advantage: Cubs
