The Cubs are heading to Philly to take on the Phillies, and I've got my eyes on this matchup. The Phillies are favored at -151, but don't count out the Cubs just yet. They've got a solid record as underdogs, winning 9 of 21 games.
Zack Wheeler (6-2, 2.96 ERA) is set to take the mound for the Phillies, while Matthew Boyd (5-3) will start for the Cubs. Keep an eye on Kyle Schwarber, who's been crushing it with 20 home runs and a .252 average. On the Cubs' side, Pete Crow-Armstrong has been making waves with 17 home runs.
As for the odds, the Phillies are -1.5 favorites, with a price range of 2.55 to 2.71 across different bookmakers. The over/under is set at 7.5, with the over priced between 1.91 and 2.03.
If you're looking for some player prop bets, consider Kyle Schwarber to hit a home run (+280) or Pete Crow-Armstrong to record a hit (-150).
My prediction? The Cubs will keep it close, but the Phillies' strong offense will ultimately take the win. Take the Phillies -1.5, and let's see if they can bring home the W.
