The New York Mets host the Chicago Cubs in the second game of a three-game set after dropping game one. The Mets now hold a 3-2 edge over the Cubs in head-to-head games this season. Adrian Sampson gets the call for the Meta. He is 1-5, with a 3.76 ERA, and 1-2 with a 3.31 ERA in seven road starts. The Mets will counter with Jacob deGrom on the mound. He is 5-1, with a 1.66 ERA. He is 4-0 with a 1.46 ERA in four home starts. deGrom, in his seven starts this season, only three of those games have seen New York winning by two runs or more. Adrian Sampson has only allowed two runs in 5.1 innings against the Mets in a 3-2 Cubs win on July 17. The Mets seem to struggle to score when their aces are on the mound and here is a good spot to take a shot on the Cubs + 1.5 runs + money.

Play on Chicago on the run-line.
