The Chicago Cubs have also been great against from the sixth inning onwards. They have outscored the opposition 53-3 from in the 6th inning and later this season. Will the Chicago Cubs continue being carried by their offense in 2025?
Chicago Cubs Season Summary
It has been a strong start to the season for the Cubs. They are leading the National League Central at 32-21. Chicago’s offense has been one of the league’s best in 2025. Chicago is leading the league in batting average, third in home runs, and has scored the most runs in the league by a wide margin. The dynamic duo of Left Fielder Seiya Suzuki and Center Fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong has paced the team’s offense. Suzuki is seventh in the league in home runs and first in RBI. Crow-Armstrong is seventh in home runs and second in RBI.
Chicago’s pitching staff has been the weaker part of the team in 2025. They are 19th in ERA, 21st in opposing batting average, and 18th in WHIP. The club’s pitching staff has had to overcome various injuries this season. That is one of the reasons why the unit has struggled to find its footing.
Final Thoughts
The Cubs return to the diamond this afternoon at home against the lowly Colorado Rockies. This afternoon’s game kicks off their three-game set against the team. If the Chicago Cubs can continue producing on offense, they can keep winning games this season.
