Picks for 4/15/26
MLB
6:40 PM EST
Rotation # 901
Cubs +115 over Phillies (win)
Imanaga/Luzardo
There are a few things that are not in the Phillies favor tonight. The most glaring is how poorly they have hit left-handed pitching to start the year, as they have the worst slugging percentage against lefties in the National League. The sample size might be small for both starting pitchers, but Shota Imanaga has settled in after a shaky opening day start. Phillies starter Jesus Luzardo is a hard-throwing lefty, but has given up a lot of big hits this year. Last night, the Phillies’ bullpen imploded, which isn’t a promising sign considering how hard scoring runs has been offensively against lefties. Take the Cubs.
