Chicago at Philadelphia

Chicago actually has been in better form than the Phillies the past couple weeks. The Cubs won 6-3 on Tuesday in a game that included back-to-back homers by Patrick Wisdom and Alfonso Rivas in the fifth inning. Philadelphia has lost six of its past seven games and fallen three games behind in the Wild Card race. Chicago has Alec Mills on the mound tonight and it has won his last three starts, including 4-1 over the Reds in 10 innings last Wednesday when Mills allowed one run on four hits in six innings. The Cubs have won nine of their past 14 games and the Phillies have lost seven of eight as favorites and four of their last five home games. The road underdog has some good value in this matchup and Chicago's young players have been producing. Play the Cubs.
