Free MLB Pick
The Cubs have owned this series as of late winning all five matches this season and seven consecutive dating back to last season. Tonight though we’re going to go with the Mets who are a superior home team in 2015 with a 29-12 record. Chicago did take the series opener, but they managed only one run extended their streak of scoring two or less runs to seven games. Lester is a poor 1-2 with a 4.54 ERA on the road and a repeat of anything near that should get the Mets the money. Colon has a inflated ERA of 4.78 at home but he has won 75% of his starts at Citi Field and has recorded a Q start in 75% of the games.
