Dodgers used Kershaw (after having pitched Tuesday on 3 days rest), Hill (pitching on 3 days rest), Urias (who hadnt pitched in 14 days but the Dodgers organization have been really careful with him), and 50 pitches from Jansen.
Maeda is slated to start against Lester in game 1 on Saturday. Doubt bullpen will be an issue. i imagine Jansen might be able to go 1 inning in a save situation. Cubs have to be a pretty sizable favorite in this game.
Game 2 is Sunday. Who can the Dodgers start? Stripling might be their only option. Cubs are probably a huge favorite in this spot as well.
Game 3 and 4 they could finally go to Kershaw and Hill.
Dodgers are vulnerable to left handed pitching and Lester can be scheduled for 1 4 7. Dodgers rotation is jacked up. Kershaw in game 3 might be their only starting pitcher advantage.

This is set up so perfect for the Cubs to get to the WS. If their bats come alive, dodgers will be out in 4, maybe 5
Dodgers basically punting game 1. Only chance Dodgers win is if they rock Lester, but that still leaves Maeda to have to give them at least 6 innings, something he has not been able to do over the past couple of months.
Cubs are already a patient team, and now they will be more patient to try and get to that Dodgers pen early and often.
Cubs are -210 for the series for a reason. They will win this series pretty easily.
