Cubs vs Phillies predictions
As the Cubs gear up to face the Phillies, eyes are undoubtedly on some key players whose performances could sway the game. Justin Steele, with his impressive ERA of 3.03 and a WHIP of 1.10, seems poised to deliver a strong start for the Cubs. Meanwhile, Ian Happ, despite dealing with some back soreness, has been a significant contributor this season with 25 home runs and 85 RBIs. If Happ is feeling good on game day, expect some impactful swings from him, adding crucial runs to the Cubs' scoreboard.
On the other side, the Philadelphia Phillies have their own aces to play. Trea Turner, batting a solid .297, has been a consistent threat at the plate and could pose challenges for Cubs' pitchers. Additionally, Kyle Schwarber, leading with 37 homers, will be another focal point for the Cubs' defense. If Schwarber taps into his power early, the Phillies might just put some early runs on the board, setting a formidable pace for the game.
Considering the season records and home advantage, the Phillies might hold the upper edge in this match-up. The Cubs have struggled on the road, and facing the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park, where the home side has shown considerable strength, won't make their task any easier. With the combined robust offensive lineup and solid pitching setup, the Phillies are likely to continue their streak and secure a win against the Cubs in this exciting clash.
