MLB Betting Lines: Phillies at Cubs

The Philadelphia Phillies and Chicago Cubs entered this three-game series looking to shake their recent struggles and build some momentum for a playoff push.

With the red-hot Cliff Lee taking the mound in this afternoon’s finale, the -145 favored Phillies seek their first sweep at Wrigley in 25 years as they try to send the scuffling Cubs to their seventh loss in eight games.

This will be Lee’s second visit to Wrigley this season after up giving three runs and six hits in seven innings of an 8-7, 10-inning loss for Cleveland on June 19.

Chicago has lost four in a row and is trying to get back in the playoff picture after being atop the NL Central just over a week ago.

Ryan Dempster starts the finale for Chicago, which has three victories in his last 12 outings.

The Phillies are 6-1 in the last seven meetings.
