| |  | CHICAGO CUBS: 2016: 103-58, won World Series
Manager: Joe Maddon (third season)
Who's new? OF Jon Jay, RHP Wade Davis, LHP Brett Anderson, RHP Koji Uehara, LHP Brian Duensing, RHP Eddie Butler
Who's gone? OF Dexter Fowler, IF/OF Jorge Soler, LHP Aroldis Chapman, LHP Travis Wood, RHP Trevor Cahill, RHP Jason Hammel
Projected lineup: LF Kyle Schwarber (.000, 0 HR, 0 RBI in two games), 3B Kris Bryant (.292, 39, 102), 1B Anthony Rizzo (.292, 32, 109), 2B Ben Zobrist (.272, 18, 76), SS Addison Russell (.238, 21, 95), RF Jason Heyward (.230, 7, 49, 11 SB), C Willson Contreras (.282, 12, 35), CF Jon Jay (.291, 2, 26 with Padres) or Albert Almora (.277, 3, 14 in 47 games)
Rotation: LH Jon Lester (19-5, 2.44 ERA), RH Jake Arrieta (18-8, 3.10), RH Kyle Hendricks (16-8, 2.13), RH John Lackey (11-8, 3.35), LH Brett Anderson (1-2, 11.91 in four games with Dodgers) or LH Mike Montgomery (4-5, 2.52 with Mariners and Cubs) or RH Eddie Butler (2-5, 7.17 with Rockies) or LH Rob Zastryzny (1-0, 1.13 ERA in eight games) or RH Alec Mills (0-0, 13.50 in three games with Royals)
Key relievers: RH Wade Davis (2-1, 1.87, 27/30 SV with Royals), RH Pedro Strop (2-2, 2.85), RH Hector Rondon (2-3, 3.53, 18/23 SV), RH Koji Uehara (2-3, 3.45, 7/9 SV with Red Sox), RH Carl Edwards Jr. (0-1, 3.75), RH Justin Grimm (2-1, 4.10), LH Brian Duensing (1-0, 4.05 with Royals)
Hot spots: Fifth Starter. Of all the candidates vying to replace Hammel, who signed with Kansas City as a free agent, most have plenty of upside but didn't log many innings last year. That includes Anderson, who had one productive season and one unproductive season for the Dodgers. Keep an eye on southpaw Montgomery, who tossed two shutouts as a starter for the Mariners in 2015, came to the Cubs last year in a midseason trade, then was effective as a reliever. Last time he was on the mound, he recorded the save in Game 7 of the World Series.
Outlook: There hasn't been a back-to-back champion this century. For opponents of the Cubs, that might be the most tangible nugget of hope. Most of the key players return from a powerhouse team that played historically good defense, got no fewer than 165 innings from each of its top five starters, and featured a deep lineup led by NL MVP Kris Bryant. In the bullpen, two-time All-Star Davis is capable of replacing closer Chapman if he's healthy. Among the Cubs' regular position players, only Zobrist and new center fielder Jay are over 30 ' everyone else is either entering or in the midst of his prime. This is a strong outlook. | | LA DODGERS: 2016: 91-71, first place, lost to Chicago Cubs in NLCS
Manager: Dave Roberts (second season)
Who's new? IF Logan Forsythe, OF Franklin Gutierrez, OF Brett Eibner, RHP Sergio Romo
Who's gone? OF Josh Reddick, C Carlos Ruiz, RHP Joe Blanton, RHP Jose De Leon, LHP J.P. Howell, RHP Louis Coleman, RHP Jesse Chavez
Projected lineup: 2B Logan Forsythe (.264, 20 HR, 52 RBI with Rays) or Chase Utley (.252, 14, 52), SS Corey Seager (.308, 26 72), 3B Justin Turner (.275, 27, 90), 1B Adrian Gonzalez (.285, 18, 90), RF Yasiel Puig (.263, 11, 45) or Andre Ethier (.208, 1, 2 in 16 games), C Yasmani Grandal (.228, 27, 72), CF Joc Pederson (.246, 25, 68), LF Andrew Toles (.314, 3, 16) or Trayce Thompson (.225, 13, 32)
Rotation: LH Clayton Kershaw (12-4, 1.69 ERA), RH Kenta Maeda (16-11, 3.48), LH Rich Hill (12-5, 2.12 with A's and Dodgers), RH Brandon McCarthy (2-3, 4.95), LH Hyun-Jin Ryu (0-1, 11.57 in one game) or LH Alex Wood (1-4, 3.73)
Key relievers: RH Kenley Jansen (3-2, 1.83, 47/53 SV), RH Pedro Baez (3-2, 3.04), LH Grant Dayton (0-1, 2.05), LH Luis Avilan (3-0, 3.20), RH Josh Fields (1-0, 4.63 with Astros and Dodgers), RH Sergio Romo (1-0, 2.64 with Giants), RH Chris Hatcher (5-4, 5.53)
Hot spots: Outfield and rotation. The Dodgers set a record for Disabled List trips in 2016. Ethier, who missed most of last season with a broken tibia, compared his recent back injury to 'Groundhog Day.' Even without Ethier there isn't room for Puig, Pederson, Toles, Thompson, Scott Van Slyke, Franklin Gutierrez and Brett Eibner. The pitching staff was decimated last year too, but a deep farm system produced a wave of capable reinforcements. If Scott Kazmir, McCarthy or Ryu can't pitch, Julio Urias, Brock Stewart and Ross Stripling can step in.
Outlook: After two straight winters laying low on the free agent market, Andrew Friedman bet big on his 2016 roster. Turner, Jansen, Hill and Utley all re-signed, giving the Dodgers a chance to prove last season's NLCS run wasn't a fluke. A full season of Kershaw and Hill ' to name just two ' would improve the team's chances of claiming a fifth straight division title. If the Dodgers want to take the next step, they'll have to get past the defending champion Chicago Cubs, a potential perennial powerhouse whose roster remains similarly intact. |
| | Cubs' Arrieta faces Dodgers in series opener
LOS ANGELES -- The Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers, the two best clubs in the National League last season, renew acquaintances this weekend at Dodger Stadium. Cubs ace Jake Arrieta (5-3, 4.80 ERA) will face Dodgers left-hander Alex Wood (5-0, 1.88) on Friday in the opener of their three-game set. It is the second and final regular-season meeting between the teams. The Cubs captured two of three from the Dodgers when the two team met at Wrigley Field in April. Chicago beat Los Angeles in six games in the NL Championship Series last year en route to winning the World Series. On Thursday, the Dodgers (28-20) rallied from a three-run deficit for a 7-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. That allowed Los Angeles to take two of three in the series and improve to 18-8 at home, the second-best home mark in the National League behind the Arizona Diamondbacks (21-8). Dodgers starter Kenta Maeda was the catalyst, driving in the go-ahead runs and earning a decision. Maeda combined with Hyun-Jin Ryu, who earned a save in his first relief appearance with four scoreless innings. "Those two guys back-to-back in a tandem situation is pretty lethal, and that's what it was tonight," Dodger manager Dave Roberts said. Wood has been one of the Dodgers' biggest surprises this season. He began the year in the bullpen but filled in with starts for some of the club's injured starters and hasn't come out of the rotation since. In his last outing, Wood threw 7 1/3 scoreless innings in a 7-2 victory over the Miami Marlins on May 19. He struck out four and walked two. Wood has a 1-2 record in seven games (four starts) with a 3.57 ERA against the Cubs. His last start against them occurred April 10 at Wrigley Field, where he allowed two runs on three hits in 3 2/3 innings but did not factor into the decision in a 3-2 loss. Wood walked a career-high five and fanned four. Arrieta will be making his 10th start of the season, seven of them coming on the road. In his last outing on Sunday, Arrieta limited the Milwaukee Brewers to one run (unearned) on five hits with six strikeouts and a walk in six innings during a 13-6 Cubs victory. Arrieta is 1-2 with a 3.24 ERA in four career starts against Los Angeles. He has blanked the Dodgers in 16 consecutive innings. That stretch includes his first no-hitter on Aug. 30, 2015, at Dodger Stadium. The Cubs (25-21) hit three solo homers to beat the San Francisco Giants 5-1 on Thursday, capping a 7-2 homestand. It was Chicago's best homestand since an 8-2 stretch from Aug. 9-18, 2016. "We know a lot of good things can happen if we're patient and aggressive in the strike zone," said Jason Heyward, who had one of the Cubs' long balls. "You can get a lot of momentum that way." Kris Bryant and Ben Zobrist also went deep for the Cubs, who added two eighth-inning runs on a wild pitch as they took three of four from the Giants. Chicago has 26 home runs in its past 14 games, second most in the majors in that span. The Cubs' six-game road trip includes three games each in Los Angeles and San Diego. |
