Starting Pitching Matchup

For the Mets, we’ve got Luis Severino on the mound. He’s got a solid 4-2 record with a 3.52 ERA and 61 strikeouts this season. Not too shabby, right? Plus, against the Cubs, he’s been stingier than your friend who never picks up the tab, sporting a 1.29 ERA and 24 strikeouts.

On the flip side, the Cubs will start Javier Assad. With a 4-2 record, a dazzling 2.75 ERA, and 79 strikeouts, he’s been throwing heat. Against the Mets, he’s got a tidy 1.64 ERA and 7 strikeouts, like a bouncer at a club letting only the best in.

New York Mets Recap

The Mets are like that quirky friend who surprises you with their resilience. They took a beating on Saturday, losing 8-1 to the Cubs, but they’re aiming to keep their series win streak alive. They’ve recently bested the Rangers, Padres, and Marlins, so don’t count them out just yet.

Mets Still Rolling Offensively

The Mets have been swinging the bats like they’re trying to hit piñatas. Starling Marte boasts 68 hits and a .278 batting average. Pete Alonso, aka “Polar Bear Pete,” leads the team with 16 home runs and 42 RBIs. Francisco Lindor and Brandon Nimmo are also making significant contributions, both in hitting and stealing bases like they’re in a high-stakes heist movie.

Chicago Cubs Recap

The Cubs are looking to build momentum after their Saturday triumph. A win here means back-to-back series wins, which would be sweeter than a deep-dish pizza for the Wrigley faithful.

Cubs Beginning to Put It Together Offensively

Cody Bellinger is leading the charge with 67 hits, including 13 doubles, 9 home runs, and 33 RBIs. Nico Hoerner, Christopher Morel, Michael Busch, and Ian Happ are all stepping up, although Busch and Happ are racking up strikeouts like they’re collecting baseball cards.

I’m riding with the Mets here. The Cubs may have flexed their muscles on Saturday, but the Mets are the comeback kids. They’ve been in top form lately, and the Cubs, despite Saturday’s heroics, have been as inconsistent as Chicago weather (Cleanuphitter.com). So, let’s bet on the Mets to wrap up the series with a win.
