Sanchez is on the mound for the Phillies with an ERA of 2.41 and he’s averaging 7 strikes per nine innings. Batters are hitting .249 against him and he has been a solid arm for Philadelphia. Taillon is on the mound for the Cubs with an ERA of 3.03 but he’s been shaky in his last few starts and has lost the last three of four starts, giving up a home run in each of his last four starts. He is susceptible to the long ball and really struggled in his last start. The Cubs have also fallen off in their offensive numbers and they have struggled to hit left handed pitchers this season going 5-12 straight up against them. The Phillies have been crushing right handed pitchers to the tune of 36-14 straight up against them and they just have the better lineup, even without Harper and Schwarber in the lineup. They have the better bullpen too. Philadelphia are 5-0 straight up in their last 5 games when playing on the road against the Cubs. The Cubs are 2-8 straight up in their last 10 games.

Best bet: take Philadelphia on the moneyline (ML).
