"The Cubs will have to face a tough stretch without Cade Horton and Justin Steele for sure, and maybe without Matthew Boyd for most of it too."
"The Phillies are a more talented team than their record or stats let on, and they have been a much better offense against right-handed pitching."
"Christopher Sanchez is off to a roaring start, with just three earned runs total allowed during his first three starts, striking out 23 batters against 4 walks."
The Chicago Cubs are entering a tough three-week schedule, facing teams like the Phillies, Mets, Dodgers, Padres, and Diamondbacks. They will be without key pitchers Cade Horton and Justin Steele, and possibly Matthew Boyd. Replacement starters Javier Assad and Colin Rea have shown promise in their initial outings. The Phillies, despite a slow start, possess a strong offense against right-handed pitching, which poses a challenge for the Cubs' new starters. The Cubs will also contend with formidable pitchers like Christopher Sanchez, Aaron Nola, and Jesus Luzardo.
