Even though this is a short series, it’s a big one for Joe Maddon and the Cubs. Not only does the manager return to the place that made him a star, but he does so with a team that’s rolling offensively and has a chance to grow its division lead heading into eight games against the Brewers and Cardinals.

Jon Jay will be leading off in center tonight while Ben Zobrist, the man who I think should be leading off, bats second and plays left. Anthony Rizzo finds himself in his familiar spot and Willson Contreras cleans up behind him.
