In his first postseason as manager of the Chicago Cubs, David Ross is going with The Professor as his Game 1 starter vs. the Miami Marlins on Wednesday.
Ross made the decision to make Kyle Hendricks his Game 1 starter for the Wild Card series opener on Tuesday, and also announced that Yu Darvish will get the nod in Game 2 on Thursday. With Hendricks and Darvish going in the first two games, it sets the Cubs rotation up nicely for this quick three-game series.
Cubs make it official. Kyle Hendricks to start Game 1. Yu Darvish Game 2.

The manager really could have gone either way with Game 1 as their really was no bad option seeing who the other guy would be for Game 2. He even went on to say that he feels like the club has two aces going into this postseason.
