New York at Chicago

The New York Mets have gotten off to a horrible start, playing on the road again vs. the Chicago Cubs with a record of just 7-13. That is tied for last place in MLB. The Cubs have been around a .500 team most of the early going. The Mets enter this game on a 9 game losing streak. They will send out Freddy Peralta, who gives the Mets a strong opportunity to break the losing streak. Peralta has been awesome on the road, as he has a 1.69 ERA on the road. Jameson Taillon has not had a good start with an ERA of 4.86 and was shelled his last time out by the Pittsburgh Pirates, who touched him up for 6 runs in 6 innings of work. I like the Mets in this one.
