Chicago Cubs: Predicting how the postseason roster will shake out

Chicago Cubs: Looking at a ‘final’ postseason roster 

Here’s how, in my estimation, things will shake out:

Willson Contreras, Anthony Rizzo, Daniel Murphy, Javier Baez, David Bote, Kyle Schwarber, Albert Almora, Ben Zobrist, Ian Happ, Tommy La Stella, Victor Caratini, Kris Bryant * (just off the DL), Addison Russell* (just off the DL), Jason Heyward* (now on the DL)

Likely Postseason Pitchers 

Cole Hamels (L), Jon Lester (L), Kyle Hendricks (R), Jose Quintana (L), Mike Montgomery (L), Steve Cishek (R), Pedro Strop (R), Carl Edwards Jr. (R), Brandon Morrow (R), Justin Wilson (L), Drew Smyly (L) or Jesse Chavez (R) matchups

While we still have a long way to go until the promise land and crapshoot of the playoffs, if that’s the roster we’re working with, I like our chances of playing deep into October.
