Analysis
The Philadelphia Phillies will face the Chicago Cubs to finish their three-game series on Sunday, April 27, 2025, at Wrigley Field starting at 6:10 PM CT. Aaron Nola will take the mound for the Phillies with a record of 0-5 and a 6.43 ERA facing off against Cubs' right-hander Jameson Taillon who sports a 1-1 record and a 4.73 ERA. Aaron Nola has had difficulties recently as he permitted 10 earned runs across 11.2 innings in his two most recent starts. The effectiveness of his changeup shows as hitters managed only 4 hits from 22 attempts with no extra-base hits. Jameson Taillon has demonstrated better consistency as he permitted two earned runs or less during three of his previous four outings. The Phillies have experienced offensive inconsistency throughout the season with 121 runs scored and a .251 batting average. The Cubs boast a powerful offense which ranks first in MLB with 171 runs scored and maintains a .265 batting average. Big edge to the Cubs here today on the mound. Plus the Cubs one of the best hitting teams in baseball. That's a combo I really like. Yet, Cubs could be a small dog here today. Jim's Play: Chicago Cubs.
