AAA's AMAZING 5-GAME MLB FRIDAY NIGHT DESTRUCTION PASS!
(MLB) Chi Cubs vs. NY Mets,
Total: 8.50 | -105.00 Under
Result: Win
This is an 8* play on the OVER Cubs/Mets.

We think these two struggling starters get the hook early and as a result, all signs do indeed point to the OVER as the savvy call in this matchup. The visitors hand the ball to Tyler Chatwood (3-4, 4.10 ERA) who was shelled for three runs off six hits over just 2.2 innings in a fortunate no-decision against the Giants on Sunday. It was the second straight outing in which Chatwood has lasted just 2.2 frames and during that span he owns a poor 4:11 K:BB. Also note that Chatwood's 1.76 WHIP over 48.1 innings of work leaves everything to be desired as well. The home side turns to the erratic Zack Wheeler (2-4, 5.40) who gave up four runs off six hits with two walks in a no-decision in his latest outing. Previous to this outing Wheeler had allowed ten or more runners to reach base over three trips to the mound. Wheeler looked a bit better in this latest performance, but note that he's still a brutal 0-4 with an elevated 7.36 ERA at home this year. Note as well that Chicago has seen the total go OVER the number in four of its last five on the road when the total in the contest is set between 8 and 8.5, while New York has seen the total go OVER in five of its last seven when the money line in the contest is set between +125 and -125. Play the OVER.
