He’s given up just 11 runs in his last 6 outings.
He’s given up just 1 run in his last 2 outings combined over 13.2 innings.
He is running on all cylinders at the moment.
Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies were doing well to start this season but as of late are desperate to turn things around.
They don’t score very much which is going to be even more challenging against Lackey and the Cubs.
They are 29th in the league in run production scoring just 3.2 runs per game.
They don’t have any offensive weapons appearing anytime soon that can turn this around.

Free Chicago Cubs vs. Philadelpha Phillies MLB Prediction:
This should be another win for the Cubs.
The Phillies have scored a bit more the past 4 games but I consider this span an outlier due to variance.
Against Lackey and the Cubs offense, Philly doesn’t really stand a chance and will likely get swept again.
