Cubs Hope Phillies Win East | Chicago Cubs News

The Phillies just snatched the top wild card spot from the Cubs—and here’s the twist: the Cubs might actually want Philly to keep winning. With the Phillies on a 21-7 tear, clinching the NL East could force Atlanta into the wild card, setting up a brutal road matchup against Philly’s elite pitching. But if the Phillies win the division, the Cubs could face the Braves instead—a potentially easier path. So, Cubs fans are quietly hoping for more Phillies wins… because it might just save them from facing the best team in baseball.
