Looking ahead to first pitch …

Game: Pirates (98-64) vs. Chicago Cubs (97-65), NL Wild Card, 8:08 p.m., PNC Park

Pitchers: RHP Gerrit Cole (19-8, 2.60) vs. RHP Jake Arrieta (22-6, 1.77)

UPDATE 2:45 p.m.: The Pirates have revealed their lineup … Sean Rodriguez will start at first base instead of Pedro Alvarez or Michael Morse. Rodriguez has not started a game since the second game of a Sept. 15 doubleheader against the Cubs.

Josh Harrison gets the nod at third, with Aramis Ramirez on the bench. More to come after Clint Hurdle and Harrison meet the media in just a bit. Here’s my post earlier on both teams’ 25-man rosters for tonight.

MATT’S PREGAME NOTES:

• At the very start of his pregame press conference, Clint Hurdle knew he had given all of us something to talk about. “Did anyone win the lineup pool?” he asked.

Two or three hands went up. Not mine, I’ll admit, although it seemed clear yesterday that the Pirates would prioritize athleticism in this game.

“Fall baseball, it’s all about pitching and defense for me,” Hurdle continued. “We’re putting our best pitcher on the mound, and we want to put our best defensive team behind him and find a way to scratch out one more run than the other team.”
