It is clear that this Cubs team is a little ahead of schedule and a legitimate playoff contender.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=10&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>They still have work to do though.<\/p>\n<p>The reason they are in the race is that the pitching around Jon Lester has been much better than expected.<\/p>\n<p>It seems like Lester may have got the memo though. He has been much sharper of later giving up only one or two runs in seven on his last ten starts.<\/p>\n<p>He beat the Mets in Chicago in May but it was not the cleanest of outings, two homers allowed to a pretty punchless club.<\/p>\n<h3>New York<\/h3>\n<p>The Mets saw their four game winning streak end last night as the offense could not score a single run in a 1-0 loss.<\/p>\n<p>Scoring continues to be a problem and you have to wonder how long they are going to wait before they try and bring in reinforcements.<\/p>\n<p>Over their past five games they have yielded just five runs so that side of the club is set but they are among the worst offensive teams in the Majors and I have little confidence that the resurgent power of Curtis Granderson is going to hold up.<\/p>\n<p>Bartolo Colon may generate a lot of chuckles from sportscasters for hit hitting and running but when he is on the mound he is effective.<\/p>\n<p>His numbers have slipped from last year but he leads the team in victories and limits the damage by not serving up too many walks.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63745&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>He missed the Cubbies the first time around this season and is coming off a couple of unspectacular outings but he just might be due.<\/p>\n<h3>MLB Betting Trends:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Under is 12-3-1 in CHC last 16 overall.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Under is 12-3-1 in CHC last 16 on grass.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Under is 7-1 in NYM last 8 on grass.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Under is 12-2 in NYM last 14 overall.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Under is 22-10-4 in NYM last 36 Wed. games.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>CHC are 19-7 in the last 26 meetings.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>CHC are 9-4 in the last 13 meetings in New York.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>MLB Betting Prediction: \u00a0New York -122<\/h3>\n<p>The Mets have been a good bet at home this season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MLB Score Prediction: \u00a0New York 5 &#8211; Chicago 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Taking on Lester is no picnic but I think they get back to winning on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll be providing 4* free MLB plays on the blog all season long, and check out our <a title=\"MLB Plays\" href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/sportscapping.php?premium_picks\/leg,mlb\/afc,AF23_15\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>EXPERTS for guaranteed premium MLB Baseball\u00a0plays<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n<h3>Check out our\u00a0<a title=\"MLB Betting Odds\" href=\"https:\/\/capperspicks.sportsdirectinc.com\/odds\/mlb.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\">Updated MLB\u00a0Betting Odds<\/a>.<\/h3>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=65348&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MLB Cubs vs Mets Predictions Major League Baseball Betting sees the Chicago Cubs taking on the New York Mets on Wednesday July 1 at Citi Field in Queens, New York.
