The Cubbies have stumbled badly in the crowded National League Central early on, looking washed up, but Carlos Silva has been a rare bright spot so far. He\u2019s allowed just one earned run in 13 innings, walking no batters.<\/p>\n

After all, he has a lifetime ERA north of 8.00 against them. But that stat is hugely misleading; all the Mets with good histories against Silva don\u2019t play for the Mets anymore. <\/p>\n Nothing in the stats suggests New York\u2019s current popgun attack will cause him problems. Hey \u2013 maybe, just maybe Oliver Perez is back to his reasonably useful self. He\u2019s the anti-Silva; he walks everyone but he strikes out tons of guys and doesn\u2019t give up many hits. <\/p>\n That said \u2013 the Cubs\u2019 plethora of right-handed power bats could give him trouble. He\u2019s just 1-3 with a 5.53 ERA and nine homers (plus 28 walks) allowed in 42.1 innings against Chicago. <\/p>\n Based on the matchup, the Cubbies look like a superb play tonight. <\/p>\n Gambling Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n NY Mets are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games when playing Cubs Free Cubs vs. Mets MLB Pick:<\/strong> Cubs -110<\/p>\n Baseball – BetUS Win Streak Contest<\/strong><\/p>\n The BetUS Win Streak Contest is the ultimate challenge for true baseball freaks,and FREE to enter, exclusively for active BetUS.com members.
