Free Betting Pick: Chicago Cubs -160
The Chicago Cubs have dominated the New York Mets as of recent as they have won 9 of their last 10 meetings. The Chicago Cubs should have no problem beating a struggling Mets team at home as the Cubbies currently sit at 25-12 when playing at Wrigley Field this season. Yu Darvish has not been the top pitcher the Cubs hoped for when signing him last season, but he showed in his latest start that he still has the ability to compete with the best as he destroyed his former team. The Chicago Cubs are stacked throughout their starting lineup whether it’s Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant, Javier Baez, or Wilson Contreras which has me thinking the Cubs can once again make a run in the postseason. Final Score Prediction, Chicago Cubs win 6-3.
