The Phillies may have walked off with a 4–3 win in 11 innings Monday night, but let’s not overreact—this was more about missed chances for the Cubs than a dominant Philly performance. Despite ending their five-game skid, the Phillies needed a breakout from an unproven rookie (Otto Kemp) and some small-ball chaos to scrape by in extras. That’s not exactly a long-term formula for success.

The Cubs, meanwhile, showed plenty of fight. Kyle Tucker opened things up with a first-inning homer, and Pete Crow-Armstrong delivered a go-ahead RBI double in the 11th. Their bats are trending in the right direction, and they had Wheeler—Philly’s ace—on the ropes for stretches.

Philly is still without Bryce Harper and had dropped 9 of 10 before this emotional win. It felt more like a temporary morale boost than a turning point. Kemp’s debut was great, but banking on another three-hit night from a rookie is a big gamble.
The Cubs are catching plus money (+100) tonight, which makes them an attractive bounce-back play. The bullpen is fresh, and with the Phillies’ offense still shaky, this is a prime get-right spot for Chicago to even the series.

Pick: Cubs ML +100 

Look for the Cubs to clean up the late-inning mistakes and capitalize on a Phillies team that’s still vulnerable, even after a dramatic win.
