Cubs. Arrieta is nuts.

 

[DougieSmash]

Pirates are better team. They are my pick for World Series.

 

[Tony Romo]

Is it gonna be Arrieta vs Cole?

 

[MMC]

Is it gonna be Arrieta vs Cole?

Cole definitely, Arrieta not confirmed yet

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

Cole definitely, Arrieta not confirmed yet

So then Lester would start? I still take the Cubbies.

 

[td_ice]

I want Pirates to win, but I picked Cubs. Trying to look at it objectively.. Hope i am wrong.

 

[Muston Atthews]

Cheering for the Cubbies

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Go Pirates

 

[SladeWilson23]

Pirates.

 

[Flipper Anderson]

Wish both these teams could win this.

But go Cubs

 

[Rick Nash 61]

If it's Lester, 100% Pirates. If Arrieta vs Cole I give a slight Edge to the Cubs.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

I really want to see Cubs-Cards.

I know we have to wait for the winner of this game but I'm gonna go jump right ahead.

Pirates vs Cards
Cubs vs Cards

Who would be your pick?

 

[Canada4Gold]

Cubs. You have to actually score runs to win games. If Arrieta is pitching then good luck doing that.

 

[Reality Check]

Want Cubs...but I'm feeling Pittsburgh

 

[S A W F T*]

Cole definitely, Arrieta not confirmed yet

He has been confirmed for about a month.

Maddon has not been shy to say it.

 

[darko]

I want Pirates to win but hard to pick against Arrieta.

 

[JS19]

Chicago's winning this with that crazy pitcher Arrieta on the mound.

This game is going to be a treat. Also, Holy ****, whoever is winning this has to face the Cards. Almost like going back to war right after coming home.

 

[Starsfan24]

Arrieta is pitching there's no doubt about that. I'm terrified for this game. Just glad the Cubbies are back in the postseason.

 

[Swervin81]

I don't know why, but I just have this Kershaw/Wainwright of last year vibe with this one.

 

[vwg*]

Both teams will try to their hardest to choke it away. That being sad, I pick the Cubs.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Cubbies may end up following KC's footsteps from yesteryear.....but I still feel there's a stronger chance that Pittsburgh ekes out a win here.

 

[Pwnasaurus]

Go Pirates.

 

[eyetest is useless]

Not sure what to think of this. In a vacuum I like the Cubs better and it'd be cool to see them win it all, but the Pirates are likable too and three consecutive WC losses would be awful

They won in 2013
