The Philadelphia Phillies, with a record that's more "works in progress" than wins, are heading into Wrigley Field to tangle with the Chicago Cubs. Aaron Nola, sporting a 1-1 record and a 4.03 ERA, will take the mound for Philly, while Colin Rea, with a shiny 2-0 record and a 3.63 ERA, will try to keep the Cubs' momentum going. Let's see if Nola can outduel Rea or if the Cubs' offense will leave Philly's pitching woes exposed.
The Cubs have been raking it in on the mound, with a team ERA of 3.59 that's a full run better than the Phillies' 4.84. They've also been crushing it at the plate, with a .251 batting average that's a .029 clip better than Philly's. The Phillies, meanwhile, are dealing with some injury woes, including a Day-To-Day listing for catcher J.T. Realmuto and a 15-Day IL stint for reliever Max Lazar. Can Nola keep the Cubs' bats quiet, or will the Cubs' depth take over? Make your pick or join the discussion on StreakChat.
