This line is a little too steep considering Chicago is at home, has won four straight over the Phillies, and sends impressive rookie Hayden Wesneski (2-1, 2.45) to the mound. The Phillies have not seen him yet. Opposing batters are hitting .175 against him. Even with Aaron Nola starting for Philadelphia, there's value on the Cubbies. Take a shot on Chicago to send the Phils to their sixth straight road loss.
Luckily for the Phillies, the Brewers lost last night so they still have a 1.5 game lead over the Brewers for the last Wild Card spot. The Brewers face a Cardinals team that just clinched today though, so the Phillies should sense that urgency. Aaron Nola is starting for the Phillies and he has been hit or miss all season. Hayden Wesneski is a rookie but hes been pitching well in his first four appearances. The Phillies were able to save all their top bullpen arms last night, take the Phillies to bounce back.
