The Cubs have now lost 11 straight games and neither of the last two games have been close. Now they get to face Zach Wheeler who has been a top 5 pitcher in the league this season. Wheeler has only allowed more than three runs in a game twice all season, and he had a 1.44 ERA in June. Alec Mills has been much better at home but he only has four starts on the season. The Phillies bullpen is bad but it doesn’t matter when the Phillies are hitting like they are. Take the Phillies to get the road sweep.
The Cubs have lost 11 straight and now have to face Phillies ace Zack Wheeler, who's allowed zero earned runs in four of his last five starts. Philadelphia scored 28 runs in the first two games of this series, hitting eight homers, and should have success against Alec Mills, who's coming off a season-high 92 pitches. Lay it.
Chicago has dropped 11 straight games since throwing a combined no-hitter against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Phillies have smacked around the Cubs in the first two games of this series, outscoring them by a combined 28-13. Philadelphia is 14-26 after a victory this season. I think Chicago will find a way to win this game and stop the bleeding.
