Phillies vs. Cubs Best MLB Prop Bets

Cubs Best MLB Prop Bet

Ian Happ OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBI (+116)

Playing the Phillies got Ian Happ going last week. He was batting .192 heading into the series, and is 8 for 23 with two doubles and two home runs since.

Happ had two two-hit games in that series against the Phillies, including a single and double against tonight’s starter, Aaron Nola. I’ll take these plus odds for Happ to stay hot at home.

Phillies vs. Cubs Prediction and Pick

I’m quite surprised that the Cubs are only barely favored in this one. Sure, Nola may give the Phillies a slight advantage on the mound over Rea, but the Cubs right-hander has held his own this season.

Most importantly, the Phillies’ bats are cold, and the Cubs just swept the Mets at home. I’ll happily back Chicago as short home favorites.

Pick: Cubs -115
