MLB FREE PICK: Take Chicago. According to latest MLB trends, Chicago Cubs are 6-1 last 7 on the road in series, 5-1 last 6 road games with the total set of 7.0-8.5, 4-1 in Garza’s last five starts and 8-3 in Garza’s last 11 starts during game 3 of a series. New York Mets are 17-35 last 52 overall, 5-16 last 21 home games vs. a team with a losing record and 0-7 last 7 as a favorite.
The Cubs send Matt Garza (1-1, 6.26 ERA) to the mound against Jeremy Hefner (1-6, 4.11 ERA). While Garza has struggled, his numbers are inflated because of a horrible start against Cincinnati on June 11, as he gave up nine runs to the Reds in a 12-2 loss. He has a much better chance against a terrible Mets team that is hitting .221 as a club and averaging just 3.80 runs per game. How bad is the Mets’ offense? They haven’t scored more than five runs at home in their last 25 games going back to April 25. They’ve also lost six of their last seven games on their current homestand. Garza is also going to a pitcher’s park in Citi Field. Hefner has pitched well as of late, but hasn’t gotten much run support. He did all four runs against the Cubs on May 18 in just four innings. The Cubs found a team that they can take advantage of.
