Chicago at Philadelphia

The Phillies looked like a slam dunk to get back to the World Series this year. But their 10-12 start, despite the best rotation in baseball, has been puzzling until you look at the offense. It doesn't matter what kind of pitching you have when you score 2 runs or less in 12 games this early in the season, and such has been the fate of the Phillies. They have already fallen to the Cubs in 2-of-3 in this series, and once again the dormant bats have reared their ugly heads, scoring just 1 run each in the two losses. The Phillies are 0-5 behind Worley when the total is 7 to 8.5, while their backers have eaten some heavy chalk as they are 2-9 in their last 11 as a favorite of -151 to -200. Play on the Cubs in this one.
