Cubs vs. Mets Prediction and Pick
Surprisingly, the Cubs are beginning to dominate this matchup. Chicago has won its last three games against the Mets, and it’s going for a fourth tonight. After last night’s win, where the Cubs were the biggest underdog to win, some would say they have momentum coming into tonight.
However, I’m going to buy low on the Mets tonight. New York is 33-20 on the run line following a loss and 38-15 SU after losing. The Mets know how to bounce back in a big way, and that’s what will happen tonight.
Chicago also doesn’t handle success too well. The Cubs are 27-32 SU after a win. I’m expecting a loss for the Cubbies, and I’d rather back the Mets to cover than to say the Cubs won’t lose too badly.
