It's the eighth straight game away from Wrigley Field for the road-weary Cubs. And it's been a dismal trip losing six of the last seven by a 60-30 count. Chicago is 4-10 against losing teams, plus 5-16 versus a righty starter. Justin Steele comes off a 7-3 loss to Houston while battling the flu, surrendering 5 runs in six innings. The Cubs have lost 18 of 26 overall and are on a 3-12 run on the road. Philadelphia plays its third straight home game winning five of its last six at home after routing Chicago yesterday, 12-3. Starter Taijuan Walker has been far more comfortable at home where he's holding batters to a .212 average. The Phillies are 26-10 after having lost five or six of their last seven, as well as 26-16 against an NL starting pitcher with an ERA of 3.20 or better. Play Philadelphia.
