Arrieta cannot pitch until Game 3. Cardinals have a very good and deep rotation.
While Arrieta is without question the best pitcher in the series, once again, can't go until Game 3. Lackey, Martinez and Lynn were all better to considerably better than Lester and by far superior to Haren. So, Jake may only pitch one game in the series. I guess if Cubs get it to Game 7, where he could pitch again, it would be advantage Cubs, but with the stronger front three overall and much stronger front two in the series, Cards should not let it get to a Game 7.
