This is an 8* Play on the CUBS

The Cubs were the right call last night, so why not come right back with them again on Friday? They hammered the Mets 7-4 in the series opener, making the most of their seven hits (same number that NY finished with). It was the sixth straight time the Mets lost a series opener and they've now dropped 7 of 10 overall. We have played against them three times in the last four days and won every time. The price is again way too low here on the Cubs, who are 14-3 this season as home favorites of -125 to -175. Meanwhile, the Mets are 1-12 as road underdogs of +125 to +175. Despite not factoring into any decisions, Yu Darvish has pitched a lot better for the Cubs lately with a 0.818 WHIP his last three starts. He had a season-high 10 strikeouts in a very impressive performance last Sunday in which the Cubs beat the Dodgers 2-1. The Cubs are 7-1 vs. the Mets since the start of last season. Mets starter Jason Vargas had to leave his last start due to cramping, which is worrisome. Play on CHICAGO
