What These Phillies vs Cubs Stats Mean
The head-to-head numbers show a clear pattern: Philadelphia’s pitching depth, especially from Luzardo and Aaron Nola, has been the difference-maker. When the rotation is on, the Cubs’ lineup, even with Tucker and Happ producing, cannot keep pace.
On the Cubs’ side, Ian Happ remains their most consistent threat against Phillies pitching. He has had multiple multi-hit games across both series and continues to be a problem for Philadelphia’s staff.
For the Phillies, the lineup looks healthiest when Schwarber, Bohm, and Turner are all producing. Those three alone account for the bulk of the run production in the wins.
Looking Ahead
Both clubs sit in playoff contention as the 2025 season pushes toward the second half. The Phillies’ ability to come back from deficits, evidenced by the walk-off win and the dominant finish in the finale, signals this is a team that will keep showing up in big spots. The Cubs, meanwhile, have the talent to flip this narrative at any point with Happ, Tucker, and Crow-Armstrong all capable of taking over a game.
