The Chicago Cubs (22-17) will try to tie their series with the New York Mets at 1-1 in Saturday’s Game 2 at Citi Field.
The Cubs have lost 3 in a row and 4 of their last 5 games, cutting down their lead on the second place St. Louis Cardinals (20-19) to two games in the NL Central Division standings. The scoring slump continued for Chicago, who ranks No.1 with 225 total runs this season. Over the last five games, the Cubs are only batting .191 with 3.3 runs per game – a far cry from their season averages of 5.3 runs per game on .256 BA.
The Mets once again showed their pitching superiority, suffocating the No.1 scoring team in the MLB to bat 5 for 30 with 2 runs. Pete Alonso went 1 for 5 in the night but Juan Soto, Francisco Lindor, Bret Batty and Jeff McNeil each belted a homer to power the Mets to a 7-run game.

Our New York Mets vs Chicago Cubs Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Mets lean on their offense this time to score another win over the Cubs.
I don’t trust the Mets’ starter on Saturday, Tyler Megill (3.16 ERA), who is averaging 5.0 earned runs in his last two starts vs. the Cubs. I am impressed with the Mets’ vastly improving offense that has produced 4.9 runs on a .259 batting average over their last five games. The Mets have also been solid in covering the spread this season, holding 11-6 ATS record at Citi Field and 22-17 overall. There’s a strong likelihood we will see another productive night from Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso and Juan Soto if Cubs starter Brad Keller keeps giving up multiple runs. Keller (7.71 ERA) is allowing 3.6 earned runs over his last five starts. Our betting prediction for New York Mets vs. Chicago Cubs: Mets -1.5 Runs.
