The Cubs will start Shota Imanaga, who has had a relatively good 2.81 ERA. Imanaga has not gotten any support, and he is still looking for his first win of the season. Philly turns to Jesus Lazardo, who has pitched 17.1 innings and has struck out 26 while walking just four. Go with Philadelphia in this one.
