The Mets hold a considerable edge in terms of the starting pitching matchup as Taijuan Walker takes the ball against Marcus Stroman. Walker has posted a 3.00 FIP and 1.10 WHIP this season while giving up just 2.73 runs per nine innings. Stroman on the other hand owns a 4.02 FIP and 1.19 WHIP. The Mets also have a much better bullpen as the Cubs relief corps owns a 5.53 ERA and 1.81 WHIP lately. Take New York here on Friday afternoon!
