This is game 2 but even if Philadelphia wins game 1, we certainly do not expect that to change momentum as only in that less than 20 game span after the All-Star break have they shown any ability to sustain momentum.

The Phillies are 5-11 recently on runline -7.1 units. They are being outscored by 2.4 in that span. Four times in their last five they are outscored by four or more. The Cubs have won five of their last six by at least two runs. Alec Asher has a 10.60 ERA and 2.034 WHIP in two starts.
