Cubs Set Lineup for Game 7 of World Series

Chicago Cubs fans have been waiting for their entire lives for a moment like Wednesday night, as the team will attempt to capture its first championship in over a century when they battle the Cleveland Indians in Game 7 of the World Series.

Instead of delving into the nuts and bolts about the challenges that the Cubs are going to face as they go up against Corey Kluber for the third time in this series, we’ll just get right to the point and reveal Joe Maddon's lineup will look for Wednesday night’s winner-take-all game:

1 Dexter Fowler – CF

2 Kyle Schwarber – DH

3 Kris Bryant – 3B

4 Anthony Rizzo – 1B

5 Ben Zobrist – LF

6 Addison Russell – SS

7 Willson Contreras - C

8 Jason Heyward - RF

9 Javier Baez - 2B

There had been some talk that David Ross could catch for Kyle Hendricks in the game, but Maddon is sticking with Contreras, as the rookie has a more powerful bat than the veteran Ross.

First pitch is scheduled for 7:08 p.m., and the game will air on Fox.
