I expect the Cubs to wrap things up today. The Marlins will most likely be demoralized, knowing that they'll have to beat both Mark Prior and Kerry Wood in Chicago to advance. Beckett's curveball was nowhere in game 1, which suggests that he may have some sort of health problem (which we will hear about after Florida is eliminated). After Clement's solid performance in Game 4, Zambrano is the only Cubs starter who hasn't pitched well in the post-season. Today will be the perfect opportunity to regain some confidence. If the Cubs win the series today, they'll be able to set up their World Series rotation in optimal fashion (Prior starting Game 1).
