The Chicago Cubs (12-9) will host the Philadelphia Phillies (8-13) for a 4-game set that begins tonight. These teams just met for a 3-game series in Philadelphia less than a week ago.
After the Phillies were able to take game one 13-7, it was all Cubs the rest of the way. The Cubs took games two and three by a combined score of 21-6. Now at home, the Cubs could have a chance to bolster their record even more against the struggling Phillies. After the Cubs dismantled the Phillies in those final 2 games in Philadelphia, they came home and swept another NL East team in the New York Mets. The pitching for the Cubs has continued to be strong as they held the Mets to just 7 total runs in that 3-game sweep.
For Philadelphia, things have gone from bad to worse. After losing those last 2 games to Chicago, they continued to slump in their next series against rival Atlanta. They were held to just 3 total runs in the 3-game series against Atlanta.
With the Chicago pitching looking elite and the Phillies' bats looking like they have holes in them, this series could get ugly for Philadelphia. Aaron Nola will try his best to keep this one close, but it will be up to the bats to give them any chance.

Our Chicago Cubs vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction
Some would say that the law of averages needs to apply at some point. However, this Philadelphia team looks like there is something worse going on than just a slumping lineup. No leader has stepped up and become vocal about their bad start, and there could be changes made at the managerial position soon. Chicago’s winning ways are set to continue here as we expect Colin Rea to outduel Aaron Nola in this one.
