Cubs vs Mets Pick, Betting Analysis

These are two good starting pitchers, and the Mets have a top-10 bullpen. New York's defense leaves much to be desired, but the Cubs have one of the best defenses in baseball.

Additionally, it's always wise to back Shota Imanaga in favorable pitching conditions, given his fly-ball tendencies. Citi Field isn't a big hitter's park, and the weather today is mediocre, with the wind blowing across the field.

Pick: Under 8.5
