Chicago Cubs (40-37, WON 6 OF LAST 9!) vs New York Mets (34-43, LAST PLACE!) | Citi Field | Tuesday, 7:10 PM ET
The Chicago Cubs (40–37, won 6 of their last 9 games!) finally get back on the field after TWO STRAIGHT RAINOUTS to face the New York Mets (34–43, lost 7 of their last 12!) in the SERIES OPENER at Citi Field on Tuesday night! This is the REAL first game after Monday’s postponement due to heavy rain! Edward Cabrera (4-4, 5.21 ERA) takes the mound against Kodai Senga (0-5, 9.00 ERA!) in what should be a MISMATCH! Senga is having a HISTORIC collapse—0 wins in 5 starts with a 9.00 ERA (absolutely brutal!) The Cubs SWEPT the Mets in April during their 12-game losing streak and we should DOMINATE them again! We’ve WON 6 OF OUR LAST 9 GAMES while the Mets LOST 7 OF THEIR LAST 12 and just got OUTSCORED 21-5 in the final two games against Philadelphia! This is the PERFECT matchup to start the series strong!
Can we jump on Senga early and take Game 1 in the series opener?
Cubs Season: 40-37, HOT AND READY AFTER RAIN DELAY!
Record: 40-37 (Won 6 of Last 9, HEATING UP!)
We’re **40–37 and we’re FINALLY getting back on the field after TWO CONSECUTIVE RAINOUTS!

New York Mets: 34-43, COLLAPSING HARD!
Record: 34-43 (Last Place!, Lost 7 of Last 12!)
The Mets are **34–43 and absolutely FALLING APART! They’re IN LAST PLACE! They’ve LOST 7 OF THEIR LAST 12 GAMES! Just this past weekend, they got OUTSCORED 21-5 in the final two games against Philadelphia! Now they’re FACING the Cubs, who SWEPT them 3-0 in April during their brutal 12-game losing streak! And they’re STARTING Kodai Senga (0-5, 9.00 ERA!) on Tuesday—a pitcher having one of the WORST SEASONS imaginable!
Mets Disaster:
- 34-43 record (LAST PLACE!)
- Lost 7 of last 12 games (COLLAPSE!)
- Outscored 21-5 in final two games vs Phillies (BRUTAL!)
- Kodai Senga (0-5, 9.00 ERA!) starting Tuesday (NIGHTMARE!)
- 18-18 at home (MEDIOCRE!)
- Francisco Lindor (strained calf) rehab status uncertain!
What They Have:
- Juan Soto (only star player!)
- Better overall hitting stats than April when Cubs swept them!
- Elite bullpen (only bright spot!)
- Nothing else working (offense can’t produce!)
The Mets are BROKEN and vulnerable!
