Monday’s Mets-Cubs Over/Under Is Highest of Noah Syndergaard’s Career
Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports Pictured: New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard
- The over/under (10.5) for tonight's New York Mets-Chicago Cubs game (8:05 p.m. ET) is the highest total for any game started by Noah Syndergaard.
- Wrigley Field's famous winds are largely responsible for this high over/under.
Because Noah Syndergaard has a career ERA of 3.00, it's no surprise that most of his starts have low closing over/unders. Heading into tonight's game against Jon Lester and the Chicago Cubs, Syndergaard has never started a game that closed with a total higher than nine, according to Bet Labs.
However, that will change tonight.
Monday's Mets-Cubs matchup opened with an over/under of 10 and is already up to 10.5, a full 1.5 runs higher than Thor's previous high.

Why? Because of that notorious Wrigley Field wind. Tonight's forecast in Chicago is calling for steady winds between 16 and 17 mph blowing out to left-center.
In his career, Lester has pitched in 25 games with over/unders above 10, the most recent on Aug. 5 against the Padres.
Sixty-six percent of bettors are currently playing the under, but 52% of actual dollars wagered are on the over, indicating more balanced action.
Since the start of the 2005 season, unders are 1,003-951-54 (51.3%) in games with closing over/unders of 10.5 and above.
