"The Cubs completed a three-game sweep of the Mets at Wrigley Field this weekend to move their winning streak up to five games. The bats exploded for 23 runs in the first two contests, and the pitching led the way in a walk-off win in the 10th inning on Sunday."
"Philadelphia has been struggling mightily on offense. That is a real head scratcher with players like Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper, and Trea Turner in the lineup."
"With the exception of Cristopher Sánchez, the Phillies' starting pitching has been dreadful this year with a 5.28 ERA in the early going."
"Despite their recent shaky play, Philadelphia has a lot of talent and the North Siders can't take them lightly."
The Cubs completed a three-game sweep of the Mets, extending their winning streak to five games with a total of 23 runs scored in the first two games. They will face the Phillies next, who have been struggling offensively despite having star players. The Phillies' starting pitching has also been poor, with a 5.28 ERA. The Cubs are in a favorable position to capitalize on the Phillies' current struggles, but must remain cautious of their potential resurgence.
