Why The Cubs Will Cover The Spread/Win

Taillon is taking the ball for the Cubs in this game, and he has started the season off well. In his first two starts of the year, Taillon has gone at least five innings in both. He has allowed just one earned run in both those games, and walked just two total batters. The Cubs have won both those games, as well. If Taillon can continue to pitch well, and go deeper into the game, the Cubs are going to start this series off with a win.

Despite their injuries, the Cubs are hitting the ball well. They are fifth in barrel percentage, and seventh in average exit velocity. Chicago is also ninth in expected batting average. They have a tough matchup, but the Cubs should be able to give Severino a tough time. If they can have some good at-bats, and get Severino out of the game early, they will win this one.

Why The Mets Will Cover The Spread/Win

Severino has made five starts this season, and he has gone at least five innings in all of his starts. In all those starts, he has not given up more than three earned runs in any of them. Since his first start of the season when he gave up 11 hits, Severino has not given up more than five hits. He is throwing the ball well, and he should be able to keep that going against a weakened Cubs' lineup.

Severino has a very good ground ball percentage, and he does not give up a lot of hard hits. The Cubs are a team that love to hit the ball in the air, and that is where a lot of their success comes. With Severino generating ground balls at a high rate, it is going to be tough for the Cubs to get any extra base hits in this game. If Severino can continue being a ground ball pitcher, the Mets will win this game.

Final Cubs-Mets Prediction & Pick

This should be a good series. For this game, I like the Cubs to win straight up. Their offense is still pretty good, even with their injuries. I will take their moneyline.
