Phillies vs. Cubs: What You Need to Know
The Philadelphia Phillies (37-28, -4.5 games, NL East) enter the three-game series playing dreadful baseball. Losers of nine of ten, the Phillies were swept by the lowly Pittsburgh Pirates over the weekend in the Keystone State showdown. There’s hope that the return of Zack Wheeler will give the Phillies some stability. Who knows.

The Chicago Cubs (40-25, +4 games, NL Central) enter the series off a rare series loss. The Cubbies lost two-of-three to the Detroit Tigers, the best team in baseball. Chicago is looking to continue their winning ways and expand on their NL Central lead.
