Philly is off a no-hitter with their ace, but now this bad team comes back to earth quickly. Philadelphia is 29th in baseball in runs scored, last in the NL. 22-year old Aaron Nola has to follow Cole Hamels, and the Phillies are on a 17-37 run. Chicago is a tough park for a young pitcher to throw in, and the Phillies are 16-36 as an underdog, 9-21 vs. a team with a winning record. Chicago has righty Jason Hammel (5-4, 2.82 ERA) on the mound, who has a 2.20 ERA in eight home starts in 2015. The Cubs are 7-1 when Hammel faces the National League East, and the team is 4-1 following a loss, so grab the home team in bounce back mode. Play the Cubs.
