The Cubs have had a decent season thus far, currently sitting in third place in the National League Central. They have an overall record of 67-86 with a win percentage of .438.
They have been in great form recently. They have won five of their last six fixtures and are looking to continue on that track. They do not have much to play for, but they could very well finish their season on a high.

The Phillies have been good this season. They are currently in third place in the NL East, behind the Mets and the Braves, who have already secured the playoff berths in the division.
The Phillies were in the running for one of those spots for the majority of the season, but inconsistencies have played a massive role in their inability to keep pace with the rest.
Their overall record this season has been 83-69, which is 13 games behind the next best, the Braves. Their recent form has been concerning, having lost seven of their last 10 fixtures. If their cold run continues, their season will be ultimately deemed a failure.
Nico Hoerner and Patrick Wisdom have been impressive for the Cubs. Hoerner has a batting average of .290, which is one of the highest in the MLB. Wisdom has hit 25 homers thus far and looks like adding more.
Alec Bohm and Kyle Schwarber are the key players for the Phillies. Bohm averages .291 with the bat. Schwarber has hit 42 home runs and has an RBI of 87 thus far.
