This game should have a playoff-type atmosphere as the Phillies look to stay in the wild-card race and the Cubs attempt to break out of a funk away from home that has seen them fail to win a road series since the All-Star break. Chicago has played Under 7-1 in the past eight starts by Cole Hamels and four straight when he faces winning teams. The Phillies are 3-0-1 to the Under when Aaron Nola pitches on full rest. Look for a low-scoring affair Wednesday.
In two starts since returning from the IL, Cubs starter Cole Hamels has hasn't gone beyond 5.0 innings. The Cubs won both games by leaning on their bullpen. On Wednesday, expect Phillies pitcher Aaron Nola to bounce back from his last start (three runs and seven hits in 5.0 innings against San Francisco) and the Phillies to pick up their second win of the series.
