The Cubs have been pretty underwhelming this season but have picked up form towards the end. They missed the playoffs but have solidified third place after building up a buffer over the Cincinnati Reds.
Their positive string of results has seen them win seven of their last ten games. The Cubs are now 69-86 on the season. Their upcoming fixtures look promising as they look to close the season on a high with more wins.
The Phillies, meanwhile, are stuck in a rut. They looked pretty strong and had an outside shot at a playoff berth, but their poor recent form put paid to those hopes. They have failed to win nine of their last 12 outings, reducing their overall record to 83-71.
In most of the other divisions, they would have been strong contenders for the playoffs, but the Phillies trail the top two by a wide margin. The Mets and the Braves have been on a tear, winning over 95 games to guarantee themselves wildcard berths at the minimum.
