Jose Quintana is starting for the Mets in this game and he is 2-5 with a 4.98 ERA this season. He is coming off of a start which he allowed 1 earned run in, but he has allowed at least 3 earned runs in 4 of his last 5 starts and that is something he has been consistent with all season. Shota Imanaga is starting for the Cubs in this game and he is 7-1 with a 1.89 ERA this season. He had 1 bad start at the end of May, but he has not allowed more than 2 earned runs in any of his 3 starts in June, and he has not allowed more than 2 earned runs in 12 of his 13 starts this season either. The Mets have been very hot recently, but they lost their last game against the Rangers on Wednesday and lost some of their momentum with the day off on Thursday. The Cubs have been struggling recently, but now they have won their last 2 games so they have some momentum here, and their offense has been scoring a lot of runs as well which will be key in this game which they have the better starter in. The Cubs will win this game.
