Fri Apr 25 17:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Cubs Look to Extend Winning Streak Against Phillies at Wrigley

**Chicago, IL** – The Chicago Cubs (16-10), riding a four-game winning streak fueled by a recent offensive explosion against the Dodgers (18 runs in two games), host the Philadelphia Phillies (13-12) at Wrigley Field on Friday, April 25th. The Cubs’ hot streak includes standout performances from Pete Crow-Armstrong, who hit two home runs and drove in seven runs in those two games.

The Phillies, however, arrive in Chicago on a three-game losing skid against the Mets, despite strong individual performances from Alec Bohm (6-12 in the series). The pitching matchup features Taijuan Walker (1-1, 2.29 ERA) for the Phillies against Colin Rea (0-0, 1.32 ERA) for the Cubs. Walker’s last outing saw him pitch 4 innings, allowing 1 earned run, while Rea’s last appearance yielded 1 earned run over 4.2 innings.

The Cubs are favored at -134 on the moneyline, while the Phillies are +113. The over/under is set at 8.0 runs. NBC Sports Bet’s model predicts a Cubs moneyline victory, a Phillies win against the spread (+1.5), and an over on the total runs.
