Two National League Central Division rivals will be facing off this Friday when the Philadelphia Phillies visit Wrigley Field to begin a three-game series against the Chicago Cubs.

Philadelphia Phillies vs Chicago Cubs: Cubs Moneyline

The Cubs’ season has been excellent so far, currently boasting one of the best records in the league at 16 wins and 10 losses. While their pitching hasn’t been very solid, the offense has carried the team, as it is the best in MLB with an average of 6.27, led by an inspired Kyle Tucker. The Cubs shouldn’t have any difficulty scoring runs here despite the good starting pitcher the visitors will have, supporting a Collin Rea who has done a good job this season, with an ERA of 1.32 in 13.2 innings of work.

Injuries for Philadelphia Phillies:

C. Sánchez Out.

B. Marsh Out.

R. Suárez Out.

Injuries for Chicago Cubs:

J. Steele Out.

R. Brasier Out.

T. Miller Out.

Philadelphia Phillies vs Chicago Cubs: Over 8

The last few games played at the Cubs’ home stadium have seen a lot of runs scored, thanks to the wind and the great form of the home offense, so we expect them to be able to do damage against a Taijuan Walker who is arriving in good form. In addition, while Rea has done his job correctly, he doesn’t usually pitch many innings, and the Cubs’ bullpen isn’t one of the best in the league. Therefore, we expect a high-scoring game.

Philadelphia Phillies vs Chicago Cubs Prediction

The Cubs have offered entertaining games this season, with the offense being the main protagonist most of the time, and here we expect another similar game, in which runs abound and they take the victory.
