The over is 6-2 in Mets last 8 overall. The over is 10-1 in Cubs last 11 overall. The Mets are 20-41 in the last 61 meetings in Chicago and 0-4 in the last 4 meetings.

Randy’s Pick

The New York Mets continue to underachieve, and their offense continues to come up small. Marcus Stroman is looking more and more like the ace caliber pitcher the Cubs thought they were getting, and he has a 2.79 ERA and .190 allowed batting average at home. Of course, Stroman also knows a lot of these Mets hitters after playing for the team for a couple of seasons. Give me the Cubs and the cheap price.
