The Chicago Cubs, one of the hottest teams in baseball, go on the road to New York for a three-game series with the New York Mets. Drew Smyly takes the mound for the Cubs in this one. He is 8-7 with a 4.71 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP. Over his last five starts, he is 1-2 with a bloated 7.54 ERA. The Mets will go with Kodai Senga on the mound. He is 7-6, with a 3.25 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP. Over his last five starts, he is 1-1 with a 2.48 ERA. The Cubs are coming off a series where they took two of three from the Atlanta Braves. The Mets lost six in a row and seven of their last eight. Senga has pitched extremely well at home. He has made 10 home starts and has posted an ERA under 2.50. Smyly has struggled lately for the Cubs posting an ERA over 7.50 in his last five starts. The Mets have an advantage on the mound but the Cubs have a huge advantage at the plate and are red-hot at the moment.

Play on Chicago.
