The Cubs may be in a good spot starting their top two pitchers for the first two games of the National League Championship Series, but the Mets aren't in a bad position, either.
New York sends out Matt Harvey to the mound in Game 1 Saturday night opposing Jon Lester, but the bigger surprise is Noah Syndergaard getting the ball in Game 2.
The Mets used the rookie right-hander in relief in Game 5 of the NLDS Thursday night, but Syndergaard is apparently ready to roll in Game 2 of the NLCS and will go opposite Jake Arrieta.
Here is the entire Cubs lineup for Game 1:
1. Dexter Fowler - CF
2. Kyle Schwarber - LF
3. Kris Bryant - 3B
4. Anthony Rizzo - 1B
5. Starlin Castro - 2B
6. Jorge Soler - RF
7. Javy Baez - SS
8. David Ross - C
9. Jon Lester - P
Here is how the Mets will line up behind Harvey:
1. Curtis Granderson - RF
2. David Wright - 3B
3. Daniel Murphy - 2B
4. Yoenis Cespedes - LF
5. Travis d'Arnaud - C
6. Michael Cuddyer - 1B
7. Wilmer Flores - SS
8. Juan Lagares - CF
9. Matt Harvey - P
