Philadelphia at Chicago Cubs 8:05 ET
Cubs over Phillies- The Philadelphia Phillies own the best record in baseball. Philadelphia is 26 games above .500 and will look to maintain that pace despite first baseman Bryce Harper, designated hitter Kyle Schwarber and catcher J.T. Realmuto all sidelined. The Cubs have dropped six of their past eight games and find themselves in last place in the National League Central. Chicago right-hander Hayden Wesneski (2-4, 3.60 ERA) will take the ball for the opener. It will be his fifth start of the season and his 22nd appearance. He is 1-0 with a 1.93 ERA in two career appearances (one start) against the Phillies. Right-hander Michael Mercado (0-0, 0.00) is slated to start for Philadelphia. Take CUBS!
