Cubs vs. Mets
Play Under 8½
The Cubbies are 2-6 on the road this season because they can't score. They average 3.8 runs per game overall, 2.4 per game on the road and 1.8 per game in five night games! They have also held four of their last six opponents to one run or less. The Mets aren't much better, averaging 4.1 runs per game, and they have totaled just six runs in their last four games. Carlos Silva goes for Chicago and in two games, he's posted a 0.69 ERA, making it even tougher on the Mets to score here. When facing a team with poor power (under 1 HR per game), the Cubs are 41-18 UNDER since last season. They are also 51-30 UNDER overall on the road over the same time period. The Mets are 18-4 UNDER over that same span vs. teams at .380 or worse. This one goes UNDER the total.

Look for the Cubs to bring their 4-game losing streak to an end tonight. The Cubs have really been struggling at the plate, but they should be able to get the sticks going tonight against Perez. The Mets are just 1-5 in Perez's last 6 starts as a home favorite, 1-6 in his last 7 starts during game 3 of a series, 0-7 in his last 7 starts when their opponent scores 2 runs or less in their previous game and 0-4 in his last 4 starts vs. the National League Central. Silva has been lights out for the Cubs in the early going with a 0.69 ERA and a 0.615 WHIP. Expect the Cubbies to get Silva some run support tonight and he'll do the rest.
