The Chicago Cubs beat the Philadelphia Phillies yesterday, 7-1, at Citizens Bank Park but it won’t be that easy today because Aaron Nola will be on the hill for the Phillies. Nola is having a Cy Young type year, with a record of 15-3, a 2.10 ERA, a 0.97 WHIP, and he is a perfect 9-0 at home with an ERA of only 1.94. The Cubs give the nod to the southpaw, Jon Lester, and he is doing what he does best – deliver. Lester is 14-5, with a 3.67 ERA, and a 1.32 WHIP. The Phillies have had success at home against lefties, going 21-7 in their last 28 games and it’s hard to go against Nola at home.
