MLB Odds: Mets vs. Cubs prediction, odds, pick
Max Scherzer is starting for the Mets in the split-session doubleheader at Wrigley Field. Drew Smyly is going against him for Chicago. Smyley has a 4.43 ERA and has pitched fewer than 45 innings in only four of his 10 starts this season. The Mets are likely to face Smylyn no more than twice. If the Cubs go through their batting order a third time in this double-header nightcap, it will be a clear sign that they are going to use their bullpen.
The Mets struggled on offense in Game 1 of this doubleheader. New York and Chicago are tied 1-1 in the seventh inning of the first half of their game.
Max Scherzer is pitching for the Mets.
The Cubs are playing against the Mets in a best-of-five series. They lost the first game. The game is unpredictable. The Royals beat the Blue Jays in Toronto on Thursday.
The Mets and the Cubs are both lopsided teams.
