Chicago comes into this game looking for the series sweep, while New York is looking to stay above .500. New York came into this series playing very well, but they have only managed to score four runs in the first two games. The Mets are starting Carlos Carrasco, who has been terrible this season. Carrasco has allowed 18 earned runs over 18.2 innings so far this year. I like the Cubs in this game.
