Philadelphia at Chicago

The Phillies would have loved to sweep the Yankees in New York, but taking 2 out of 3 is not a bad result. The Phillies will trot out Christopher Sanchez for the opening game series in Chicago against the White Sox. Sanchez had a breakout year last season, winning 11 games, but has taken another big step in 2025. Sanchez is 9-2 with a 2.40 ERA. He has allowed just one run in each of his last six starts. The White Sox are better than they were last year, but not enough to make a significant difference. The Phillies' bats this season tend to disappear the deeper they are into a road trip. From their 4th straight game on the road and on, they are 22-9 to the UNDER. The White Sox, as a big dog from +150 and up, are 33-24 to the UNDER as they don't seem to generate enough runs to push totals OVER. Make the play on the UNDER.
