The Phillies are coming into this game with a 56-29 record this season and they have been playing well in their recent games. They have won 3 of their last 4 as well as 4 of their last 6 games and they have one of the better records in the MLB this season. Their offense has also been heating up recently as they have scored at least 6 runs in each of their last 2 games. They are going up against a Cubs team that is 39-47 this season and has been awful in their recent games. They have lost 3 of their last 4 as well as 7 of their last 9 games. Their pitching has not been great in recent games either, allowing at least 6 runs in each of their last 2 games. Zack Wheeler is starting for the Phillies in this game and he is 9-4 with a 2.73 ERA this season. He has been very good this year as he has allowed 2 earned runs or less in each of his last 2 as well as 7 of his last 8 starts. He did allow 8 earned runs in his last road start against a hot offense in the Orioles, but he has bounced back with 2 great starts at home and even prior to his last road start, he only allowed 1 earned run in his last 2 road starts. He is also going to have a much weaker offense with the Cubs to deal with here. Shota Imanaga is starting for the Cubs in this game and he is 7-2 with a 3.07 ERA this season. He was very good to start the season but now he has been allowing more runs recently. He has allowed 13 earned runs total in his last 2 starts and has allowed 3 runs or more in 4 of his last 6 starts. His last home start was a start which he allowed 10 earned runs against the Mets, and he has allowed 16 runs total in his last 3 home starts as well. He had a great start to his rookie season but now he has been starting to unravel in his recent starts as he got blown up by the last hot offense he saw, and the Phillies have one of the better offenses in the league this year so they are going to score runs in this game. The Phillies will win this game.
