The New York Mets and Chicago Cubs are about to begin the 2015 NLCS, and everybody is ready.
With any new series in baseball, rosters must be set. And for both Terry Collins and Joe Maddon, their 25-men are each set:
Mets:
Cubs:
The only change from a New York perspective comes with lefty Sean Gillmartin replacing Erik Goeddel in the bullpen.
The schedule is also set:
As are the Game 1 starting pitchers and lineups:
Michael Cuddyer will receive the surprising Game 1 start at first-base in favor of Lucas Duda. He’ll oppose lefty Jon Lester.
Of course, Matt Harvey will take the ball from Terry Collins. He’ll look to avenge is struggles from Game 3 of the NLDS.
First pitch comes your way at 8:07 PM ET from Queens.
