N.Y. METS @ CHI. CUBS | 04/20 | 7:40 PM EDT
CHI. CUBS +1.5
ANALYSIS: The Cubs are good value at -159 on the runline because they could easily win what should be a low-scoring game -- low-scoring games often end in one-run margins -- with cold weather (may actually snow a bit but is expected to be played), two good starting pitchers and two struggling offenses. The Cubs are last in the majors in batting average and the Mets are in homers with just six in 11 games. Cubs starter Jake Arrieta (2-1, 3.18) went 2-0 with a 2.19 ERA in two starts vs. New York in 2020 while with the Phillies. New York's Taijuan Walker (0-0, 2.61) hasn't faced the Cubs in four years. Chicago has won 16 of the past 21 in the series.
