Thanks for the correction. I have edited the OP. I don't know about the Cubs matching up. Clearly the Cubs had the advantage at 1B. They had the advantage in LF based on offense only. Kris Bryant would be a sexier pick than David Wright, but clearly better overall? Toss up IMHO. Castro was also the back up SS, Montero is worthless. So you could argue that a few ways. But the biggest discrepancy for the Cubs was pitching. You had a burned up Arrieta, an on name only Jon Lester and then.......batting practice.
I know it doesn't necessarily matter but it's nice to know we may hold advantages in most places
