Philadelphia Phillies

Phillies (13-13) VS Cubs (17-10)

Apr 27, 2025 | 7:00 PM ET | Wrigley Field, Chicago

Chicago Cubs
Moneyline Pick - Chicago Cubs (-110): B

Chicago enters Wrigley Field riding a 6-4 run, while Philadelphia tries to turn their form around despite getting a key bat back in the lineup. The Cubs are relatively healthy outside of one notable absence, while the Phillies still miss key contributors. Chicago sends a starter who has historically handled Philadelphia’s bats well, and their bullpen, coming off extra rest, holds a late-game advantage over a Philadelphia relief corps that has struggled to lock down innings lately. With cooler conditions favoring pitching and the Cubs’ offense showing strong balance, backing Chicago at -110 earns a confident B-grade recommendation.

Feels like one of those nights where home-field momentum and a fresher bullpen make all the difference—Cubs have the right pieces lined up to keep rolling.

Over/Under Pick - Under 8, (-110): B

Chicago enters this matchup riding good form, while Philadelphia tries to reverse a slump without one of its key top-order bats. The Cubs are missing a starter but send a strong arm to the mound backed by a bullpen that has been among the league’s best. Philadelphia counters with an arm who has historically silenced Chicago’s lineup, setting the stage for a tightly contested game. With cooler temperatures and crosswinds expected to mute any typical Wrigley power surges, and both bullpens fresh after light recent workloads, backing the Under 7.5 runs earns a solid B-grade recommendation.

Feels like the perfect Wrigley night where pitchers thrive, runs come at a premium, and every base hit feels magnified—lean under and stay warm.

Spread Pick - Chicago Cubs, +1.5 (-178): B

Chicago enters Wrigley Field winning three of their last four, while Philadelphia looks to stop a deep slump and now faces additional lineup challenges with another key bat sidelined. The Cubs send a balanced offense against a starter they’ve scratched runs off in recent meetings, and with a bullpen fresher than Philadelphia’s overtaxed relief corps, late-game edges lean heavily toward the home team. With recent defensive struggles weighing down the Phillies and cooler temperatures likely to limit big innings, backing Chicago +1.5 at -160 earns a solid B-grade recommendation, offering both reliable protection and strong momentum in the Cubs’ favor.

Feels like another night where a steady Cubs team just grinds through and keeps it close or better—taking the run and a half feels like a smart play.
