This is a 10* on PHILADELPHIA

The Phillies have taken the first two games at Wrigley Field and the Cubs have now lost 11 in a row overall. Yesterday’s final score ended up being 15-10, but the Phillies initially led 7-0 and 15-4. That was after a 13-3 win on Monday. Those kind of scores and an 11-game losing streak pretty much “paints the picture” and is all you really need to know about what’s taking place in the Windy City right now. In 17 of the last 22 games, the Cubs have not scored more than three runs. Yesterday was only the third instance (in those last 22 games) of them scoring more than four runs and that’s only because of some late, meaningless damage in the final three innings. We don’t see the Cubs doing much offensively early in tonight’s game as they are set to face Zack Wheeler. Over 17 starts, Wheeler has a 2.05 ERA and 0.94 WHIP. He has not allowed a single run in four of his last five starts and all four saw him go at least six innings. The task for Cubs starter Alec Mills is tough as the Phillies have homered eight times in two games. The Cubs have been outscored 83-35 during this losing streak. Play on PHILADELPHIA
