Prediction: Chicago Cubs VS Philadelphia Phillies 2025-06-09

The Cubs are heading to Philly to take on the Phillies, and I've got my eyes on this matchup. The Phillies are -151 favorites, which isn't surprising given their strong record when favored (32-21). However, the Cubs have been feisty as underdogs, winning 9 of 21 games.

Zack Wheeler (6-2, 2.96 ERA) is taking the mound for the Phillies, and he's been lights out this season. Meanwhile, Matthew Boyd (5-3) will be pitching for the Cubs. The Phillies' offense has been decent, scoring the 10th-most runs in baseball, but the Cubs have been on fire, ranking second in runs scored.

Kyle Schwarber (20 HR, .252 AVG) is a key player to watch for the Phillies, while Pete Crow-Armstrong (17 HR) will be looking to make some noise for the Cubs.

Given the Cubs' ability to perform as underdogs and their potent offense, I think they've got a good shot at taking down the Phillies. My best bet for this game is the Cubs +1.5 at 1.61. The Phillies might have the edge at home, but I think the Cubs can keep it close or even pull off the upset.

So, if you're looking to make some cash, take the Cubs +1.5 and enjoy the game!
