Chicago Cubs vs NY Mets Prediction

The NY Mets are playing their best ball of the season over these last two weeks, and a cheap price with Luis Severino is appealing. However, Severino’s numbers drop off when he pitches on the road, and Javier Assad has pitched like an all star caliber player this season. With a top-10 ERA and a strikeout per inning, I have to lean toward the Cubs at home and the cheap price.
