A couple of 1st place teams get together when the Phillies and Cubs kick off their three game series on Monday. Familiar faces come home in this one as former Cub Jake Arrieta returns to Wrigley Field.
Philadelphia Phillies
Jake Arrieta will face the Cubs for the 1st time in his career. He spent 5 years with Chicago, guiding them to the 2016 World Series while also snagging the 2015 Cy Young Award.
The Phillies have good value on Monday as underdogs with Arrieta on the hill for the first time this season. That being said, he has struggled a bit as of late, allowing 4+ ER in 3 of the last 4 starts.
