Chicago Cubs vs Philadelphia Phillies. The MLB pick for this game is the Philadelphia Phillies. The Cubs had a difficult final stretch leading up to the All-Star break and failed to produce much offense, especially against the Mets in the last series.
In the upcoming two weeks, Willson Contreras and Ian Happ may be traded, which would make things harder for the team. Although they are now without Bryce Harper, Philadelphia was strong since Girardi was dismissed and inserted themselves into the playoff race.
Gibson will take on a Chicago offense that struggled to score runs over the past two weeks after dominating the Marlins in his previous start.
As they take care of business, give the Phillies the advantage in the first match of the series. The Philadelphia Phillies will win to a predicted score of 5-2.
