Carl Edwards Jr. (hamstring) available for Cubs in Game 5

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Carl Edwards Jr. (hamstring) expects to be available against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday for Game 5 of the NLCS.

What It Means:

Hamstring tightness forced Edwards out of his appearance in Game 4, but it doesn't appear to be any sort of serious issue, and he will be available from the bullpen again in Game 5.

After tying the series at 2-2 on Wednesday, our models give the Cubs a 38.8 percent chance of winning the World Series -- the second-best mark among the three remaining teams.
