Philadelphia is a bad road team at 7-19 in their last 26 road games, and 8-21 as a road underdog. The offense is No. 27 in baseball in runs scored and on base percentage with no power. Starter Kyle Kendrick has lost three straight decisions and four of his last five. The Phillies are also 1-6 in Kendrick's last seven road starts against a team with a losing record. He faced the Cubs earlier this year and allowed 5 runs (4 earned) in six innings. The Phillies are 4-14 in their last 18 road games vs. a right-handed starter and face Chicago righty Jake Arrieta, who is 2-1 at Wrigley Field in 31 innings where opponents hit .194 off him. The Cubs held on for a 4-3 win Saturday and get another win today. Play the Cubs.
