3rd of 3 in triple play Tuesday
(MLB) NY Mets vs. Chi Cubs, 04/20/2021 7:40 PM, Score: 1 - 3
Money Line: -135.00 NY Mets (Away)
Result: Loss
MLB - The Mets have won 5 of 6 games and appear to have turned the corner after being a little slow out of the gates this season. The Cubs, on the other hand, are still scuffling as they have lost 8 of 11 games. The problem for Chicago, at least one of the problems, has been hitting. The Cubs had one 13-run outburst to blast the Braves in 1 of those 11 games but in the other 10 games Chicago averaged just 2 runs per game. Taijuan Walker is throwing very well for the Mets with plenty of heat on his pitches. He has a 2.61 ERA thus far and also was strong in spring training. Jake Arrieta had a 6.23 ERA in home starts with the Phillies last season. Back with the Cubs again, he has a low ERA but was quite hittable in spring training and so far in regular season action as well. Per the above as well as the simulation report, play NEW YORK METS
