The Philadelphia Phillies are 14-13 this season after they won game two in this series by a score of 10-4 on Saturday. Philadelphia scored the first six runs in the game, and they added three more in the sixth for the big win. The Phillies recorded 12 hits and they committed one error in the game, while they were led by Kepler, Schwarber, and Harper, who all had two RBIs in the win. Philadelphia started Luzardo, who allowed just three hits over 6.0 innings for the win, while Strahm allowed two hits and two earned runs in just 0.1 innings out of the bullpen. 

Prior to this series, the Phillies lost all three against the Mets, but did win two out of three against the Marlins before that.

Kyle Schwarber has led Philadelphia with seven home runs and 18 RBIs, while Bryce Harper has added five home runs and 16 RBIs this year. The projected starting pitcher for Philadelphia is Aaron Nola, who is 0-5 with a 6.43 ERA and a 1.61 WHIP over 28.0 innings pitched this season. 

Chicago Cubs Betting Preview

The Chicago Cubs are 17-11 this year, and they have split the first two games of this series. In the loss on Saturday, Chicago tried to come back and cut the deficit to 6-2 in the fifth, but they allowed the next four runs in the blowout loss. The Cubs recorded eight hits in the game, and they were led by Suzuki, who had three RBIs in the loss. Chicago started Brown, who allowed nine hits and six earned runs over 3.2 innings for the loss, while Roberts allowed three hits and four earned runs over 2.0 innings in relief.

The Chicago pitching staff has a 4.34 ERA with a 1.37 WHIP and a .252 opponent batting average, while their offense has scored 171 runs with a .265 batting average and a .346 on-base percentage this season. Kyle Tucker has led Chicago with seven home runs and 25 RBIs, while Seiya Suzuki has added six home runs and 23 RBIs this year. The projected starting pitcher for Chicago is Jameson Taillon, who is 1-1 with a 4.73 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP over 26.2 innings pitched this year. 

Phillies vs Cubs Prediction 

Philadelphia was able to snap its losing streak with a nice win on Saturday, but they are just 5-9 on the road this season. Chicago is 9-6 at home, and they have the highest scoring offense in the MLB. The Cubs are starting Taillon, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four starts. The Phillies are starting Nola, who has allowed 10 earned runs in his last two starts (11.2 IP). Nola has really struggled this season, and I don’t see him finding much success against this Chicago lineup. Take the Cubs at home here.
