Money Line: -111.00 Chi Cubs (Away)
Result: Loss
The Chicago Cubs and New York Mets finish off their three-game set. The Cubs have put things together this summer and have become one of the hottest teams in baseball since July. Kyle Hendricks gets the call for the Cubs. He is 4-6 with a 4.09 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP. Over his last five starts, he is just 1-3 with a 5.79 ERA. This has been a disappointing season for the Mets, so much so, they decided to tear it down and get rid of a bunch of high-priced players. The Mets will counter with David Peterson on the mound. He is 3-7 with a 5.65 ERA and a 1.61 WHIP. In his last five appearances, just one start, he is 1-0 with a 1.05 ERA in 8.2 innings. Hendricks has pitched well on the road this season, posting an ERA under three in seven starts. Peterson has gone back and forth from starter to relief and hasn't thrown a lot of innings lately. This could become a bullpen game for the Mets and I don't have a lot of faith in their pen as they traded away two of their best relievers this season.

Play on Chicago.
