Chicago Cubs (10-9) and New York Mets (7-13) will continue their three-game series on Saturday night at Wrigley Field. The Cubs will have the upper hand in this National League series after securing a 12-4 blowout win in the first game. Moisés Ballesteros, Ian Happ, and Nico Hoerner’s home runs ensured the Cubs started this home series with a win. The only bad news was an injury to Daniel Palencia, who is out for 15 days with an oblique strain.
New York Mets, on the other side of the grass, are having a rough time in the league this season. They find themselves at the bottom of the NL East standings, six games behind the table-topping Braves. As witnessed on Friday night, the Mets have struggled on the road this year, dropping seven of their 11 assignments. They’ve struggled to cope without Juan Soto and Jorge Palanco, although the latter could be fit to play tonight.

Our Chicago Cubs vs New York Mets Prediction
The Cubs will be the -120 favorites tonight. They’ll be brimming with confidence after their last result against the Cubs. Interestingly, this was the third straight match in which the Cubs scored 10 or more runs. The Cubs scored an average of 9.4 runs in their last five games, highlighting a team that isn’t ready to hold back. However, they must tread carefully after the visitors registered 14 hits against them yesterday. The Mets could score a few runs of their own against Jameson Taillon, who has a 0-1 record this season with a 4.86 ERA and 17 strikeouts. The visitors will start Freddy Peralta, who is 1-1 this season with a 3.86 ERA and 25 strikeouts. This could be another open slugfest.
Our prediction for Chicago Cubs vs New York Mets: Over 7.5 runs.
