"The Cubs' seven-game winning streak is significant, as winning one more game would tie their best streak in a decade, and two more would match their best since 2016."
"Matthew Boyd's return from the IL gives the Cubs a chance to extend their winning streak, especially against a Phillies team that has struggled against left-handed pitchers this season."
"The Cubs' playoff odds dropped from 54% to 39.4% after just 14 games, which seems overly reactive given the small sample size and the team's performance."
The Chicago Cubs recently defeated the Phillies, marking their seventh consecutive win. This streak is significant as it approaches their best in a decade. With Matthew Boyd returning to the mound, the Cubs have favorable odds against the Phillies, who struggle against left-handed pitchers. However, future games may pose challenges. The Cubs' playoff odds have fluctuated dramatically, dropping from 54% to 39.4% early in the season, raising concerns about the accuracy of projections based on limited games played.
