The Philadelphia Phillies have been down for several years, but some strong talent that is starting to take shape and 2018 has seen them emerge as a possible contender. They did, however, take a hit when slugger Rhys Hoskins fouled a ball off his jaw, and is on the disabled list. It has definitely been an impactful injury, taking a big bat out of the lineup with the Phillies just 1-4 in his absence, scoring one run or less in three of the games. The Cubs had been hovering around the .500 mark for most of the season, but have really taken off having won 8 of their last 10, out-scoring their opponents 53-28, or by 2.5 runs per game. It's tough to go against the Cubs right now, especially with a reeling Philly team. Play on Chicago.
