World Series odds have the Phillies and Cubs behind the Dodgers in the National League, but either team is capable of going on a run in the second half of the year. The two meet at Citizens Bank Park in the second of a four-game set on Tuesday.
Cubs vs Phillies odds – Tuesday, July 21, 7:05 PM ET
Rich Harden (6-6, 5.05) had an inconsistent first half of the year, but he ended with a solid performance against Washington when he allowed a run on three hits over six innings of a 6-2 road win, and it was also the first time in 2009 that he didn’t walk a single batter. Away from Wrigley Field, Harden is a beast with a 4-1 mark in six starts and a 2.17 ERA, and he’s owned the Phillies in his two career starts against them with a 1-0 record and a sparkling 0.69 ERA.
Joe Blanton (6-4, 4.44) settled down as the campaign wore on, and he gave up only one run in his last 14.2 innings before the All-Star break. He’s only faced the Cubs once in his career, earning a no-decision, and he’s been a bit shaky at home despite a 3-2 record, racking up a 4.63 ERA.
It’s difficult to say who will be the sportsbook favorite, as Philadelphia struggles at home. But regardless of who is favored, Harden seems to have the Phillies’ number. He’s also a much better pitcher in the second half of the season than the first. World Series odds won’t be decided by one single game, but take the Cubs on the road on Tuesday.
