Zach Eflin has been a diamond in the rough for the Phillies this season. Zach is 5-4 with a 2.89 ERA 45 strike outs and 9 walks. Zach had a rough outing last time out but I feel that bad outing was due to his 9 inning complete game in the previous start.
Zach Eflin has lights out numbers and could easily be 8-1 but the Phillies have struggle to score runs for Eflin. Phillies lack of scoring reared it's ugly head on Monday as well and I feel like the Phillies hitters will be playing with their hair on fire Tuesday night.

Cubs come in winners of 7 of their previous 10 games and Carlos Quitana is usually very good at home. Jose comes in with a 4-3 record and a 3.68 ERA he has 50 strike outs and 15 walks. Last starts for Jose have been mediocre.
Phillies need to keep their ground in the national league east as the Braves are getting hot and a starting to push the Phillies for 1st place in the division. Cubs bullpen has been taxed lately and is not that good at closing out games.

Look for Bryce Harper to get it going against Jose Quintana. Bryce is only hitting .235 with 9 homeruns and 31 RBI's. Rhys Hoskins also hits Jose very well and I see this game being low scoring but a blowout win for the Phillies 6-1.
