Philadelphia Phillies vs. Chicago Cubs Prop Pick: Can Trea Turner Shine on Tuesday Night?
The Philadelphia Phillies travel to Chicago on Tuesday to take on the Cubs tonight and I have a play in this game that I really like. Both Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber remain on the IL for the Phillies, but I am still going to be looking at Phillies star, Trea Turner in this one.

PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES VS. CHICAGO CUBS PREDICTION
Trea Turner has been playing extremely well since his return to the Phillies lineup. He is hitting .364 since June 26th and will get a great matchup against Cubs starting right-handed pitcher, Hayden Wesneski.
Wesneski is a great matchup for Trea in my opinion especially since he has allowed a .271 expected batting average to righties this season. We have a high total of 9.5 in this game and Trea Turner likely will be hitting in the two spot in tonight's lineup so I do think we see him get 5 or more plate appearances which increases our chances here tremendously.
Trea Turner has a hit in 68% of games this season, including 20 of the last 27 games overall. When he sees five or more plate appearances, he has gotten one or more singles in 16 of the last 18 games. Turner is hitting .305 this season on the road and also owns a .331 batting average against righties which is elite.
He is around -280 or -300 to get a hit and a majority of his hits are singles so I think we are getting a great price here. I have to take it and won't be surprised to see him get two hits which could both be singles.
