The Cubs pounded the Phillies 10-1 in game 1 of a three-game set. Chicago snapped a five-game losing streak with the win and upped their record to 19-24 on the season. Jameson Taillon will look to extend their winning streak when he takes the mound for the Cubs. He is 0-2, 6.66 ERA this season. The Phillies have now lost five in a row and will look to turn things around by sending Aaron Nola to the mound. He is 3-3 this season with a 4.53 ERA. The Phillies are 11-7 at home and are 5-2 in their last seven at Citizens Bank Park. Chicago is 8-13 on the road and 2-11 in their last 13 away from home. Before last night's game, the Cubs had lost eight of their last 10 and the Phillies had lost 10 of their last 15 games. Despite his struggles, Nola is the better pitcher and I like the Phillies at home in this one.
