EDGE Analysis

Hendricks pieced together his best season in the majors, finishing the season with a 2.13 ERA and a 0.98 WHIP. This strong showing prompted the Cubs to entrust him with the second start of the series, right behind Jon Lester. The right-hander will get the opportunity to face either the Mets or the Giants in the Friendly Confines on Saturday.
