Money Line: -141.00 NY Mets (Home)
Result: Win
This is an 8* play on the Mets.

The Mets have the best home record in baseball, and yet they are just a slight favorite at home versus the Cubs tonight. Chicago has a losing road record, and they are 5-11 in their last 16 games as a road underdog.

Alec Mills will toe the slab for the Cubs, and he's worked primarily out of the bullpen. Mills (2-0, 6.08 ERA) has appeared in 13 games, and started only one of those contests. He's 0-0 with an 8.76 ERA on the road.

The Mets hand the ball to Taijuan Walker, who has been lights out at home. Walker (5-2, 2.07 ERA) allowed one run on five hits, striking out nine in seven innings in a win over the Orioles his last time out.

The Cubs lineup has hit a combined .163 over 53 at bats versus Walker.
