Even though Monday's opponent, Cubs left-hander Brett Anderson, has reverse career platoon splits, the Phillies have just two left-handed bats in the series opener - Odubel Herrera and Michael Saunders.
Lefties have hit .306 with a .754 OPS against Anderson in his nine-year career compared to .257 with a .702 OPS for righties (see game notes).
Aaron Altherr and Tommy Joseph, who are a combined 2 for 23 with 10 strikeouts over the last seven days, are both in the lineup.
It's Altherr's first game back in the two-hole since last Wednesday. Freddy Galvis moves down to seventh.
