The Chicago Cubs have announced their starting pitcher for the National League Wild Card Series finale. After losing Game 2 by the score of 3-0 to the San Diego Padres, the Cubs are going to a starting pitcher who has been hot to end the regular season. The Cubs will need to rely on Taillon to pitch at least four innings to give them a chance. He will face five left-handed hitters and potentially a sixth if the Padres decide to pinch-hit Freddy Fermin early in the game. The Cubs rallied down one in Game 1 as Seiya Suzuki and Carson Kelly smashed back-to-back home runs.
