Cubs vs Mets Betting Prediction
In the latest low-scoring game of the Mets vs. Cubs series, New York, favored at -126, on the MLB betting lines, secured a 4-2 victory, with both teams notching a run each in the first inning. The Mets pulled ahead with a crucial run in the 6th and added an insurance run in the 7th, while the Cubs only managed to add one more run in the 9th. Mets’ pitcher Sean Manaea delivered a solid start, allowing just one run over five innings and striking out three, though he did walk four batters. Cubs’ Javier Assad matched the effort somewhat, conceding one run across five innings on five hits. Mike Tauchman sparked the Mets’ offense, going 2/4 including the game’s only homer and contributing two RBIs, complemented by DJ Stewart’s two-run single.
Chicago Cubs
Shota Imanaga starts for the Cubs, aiming to extend his winning streak against the Mets today. With three wins under his belt, his last outing showcased a 6 1/3 inning performance where he allowed only one run and struck out seven. The Cubs rely on him heavily as they lead MLB player stats, in home runs per game with an average of 5.8.
At home, the Cubs excel, averaging 5 runs per game, ranking seventh in the league. Their proficiency in walks and on-base percentage underscores their offensive capabilities. Michael Busch and Cody Bellinger, leaders in batting average, boost the lineup. Bellinger’s current 8-game hitting streak, alongside Mike Tauchman’s .414 average over his last nine games, highlights the Cubs’ potency.
New York Mets
José Buttó is slated for his fourth start this season and second at home, where he previously delivered a 6-inning, 9-strikeout performance. Despite his promising outings, Buttó seeks his first win; he’s recorded a loss and two no-decisions so far. Last time out, he faced the Cardinals and surrendered four earned runs over 5 2/3 innings, taking the loss. His ongoing efforts are critical as the Mets aim to improve their standing.
On the other hand, the Mets’ offense has been inconsistent, averaging 4.4 runs per game to rank 17th in MLB teams stats, yet they excel on the road with 5.6 runs per game, the third highest in the league. Home games have been challenging, with the team scoring just 3.6 runs per game, placing them 23rd overall. Key players like Pete Alonso, leading with home runs, and Starling Marte, alongside Francisco Lindor and Jeff McNeil, who is on a hitting streak, are pivotal for boosting the Mets’ offensive stats.
