Philadelphia at Chicago

Philadelphia has the second worst offense in baseball in runs scored, behind punchless Atlanta. They are #27 in on base percentage and #28 in slugging. The offense has scored two or fewer runs in four of the last seven games. At least the Phillies have a talented young arm on the mound in Jerad Eickhoff, allowing three or fewer runs in seven of nine starts. Eickhoff tossed seven scoreless innings Sunday against the Braves to pick up his second win of the season, needing only 85 pitches to complete his seven shutout innings. The offense doesn't help his cause, however, scoring just 24 runs in his nine starts with two or fewer in five of them. They face a Chicago Cubs squad that is tops in baseball in pitching with a 2.70 team ERA. They go with righty Kyle Hendricks, who is 1-1 with a 2.28 ERA in four home starts. The UNDER is 6-3-1 in the last 10 meetings at Wrigley Field and this shapes up as a defensive duel. Play this one to finish UNDER the total.
