Cubs may have just revealed who their Game 1 starter will be
Atlanta Braves v Chicago Cubs | Daniel Bartel/GettyImagesCade Horton's dominance during the second half of the season hasn't just made him a favorite for the National League Rookie of the Year award, but has made a convincing argument that the 24-year-old should be the Game 1 starter for the Cubs in the postseason. Fresh off clinching a spot in the postseason, the Cubs announced their probable starters for this weekend's four-game series against the Cincinnati Reds, and Horton is getting some extra rest.
Cubs probables vs. CIN:
Thursday: Colin Rea
Friday: Shota Imanaga
Saturday: Javier Assad
Sunday: Jameson Taillon
