As a regular season staff, the Cubs have a good one. As far as a postseason rotations go, every team in the NL races sans the Rockies, has a better one.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
The Dodgers don't.

Billingsly and Kershaw are better than any 1-2 puch the Cubs have. Shit, Cook and Jimenez from the Rockies might even be too. You only need 2 pitchers in the playoffs, the Cubs don't have 2 clear cut choices to choose. Zambrano-Lilly, Lilly-Dempster, Zambrano-Harden, those combos aren't the type you win shit with.
