Kyle Hendricks 2016 stats:

ERA at Wrigley: 1.31
ERA away: 2.95

BB at Wrigley: 14
BB away: 30

Innings pitched home and away are almost identical. I know it's game 7 and the leash will be short, but who wants to bring Lester into a tight game in the 6th or 7th with his inability to hold runners? Lackey may well be the key piece today.

IMO, pitching Chapman when up 5 runs yesterday was a huge mistake that'll cost Maddon big-time. The whole Cubs pen knows that their manager thinks they suck, and that they can't be trusted to hold a 5 run lead. Tough to generate any confidence with that message sent.
