The Chicago Cubs are planning to start Jon Lester in Game 1 of the NLCS, according to pitching coach Chris Bosio.

"Right now it's probably going to be Jon because it's his turn," Bosio said on the "Kap & Co." show on ESPN 1000 on Wednesday in Chicago. "The way it's laid out is probably how it's going to be."

Lester threw in Game 1 of the NLDS against the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday and Jake Arrieta pitched in Game 3 on Monday. If Lester pitches Saturday, it gives Arrieta an extra day of rest for Game 2 on Sunday.

"Joe (Maddon) doesn’t want us to change a lot of stuff," Bosio said. "That’s why I don’t see us doing anything real crazy. There’s a comfort level with their work days, which for me is really important. Each of these guys has a routine."
