Chicago Cubs (40-37) at New York Mets (34-43) — Game Preview
The Chicago Cubs bring a 40-37 record into Citi Field to face a New York Mets club sitting at 34-43, a six-game gap in the standings that frames the night. Chicago has leaned on a more dangerous top of the order, where Pete Crow-Armstrong is hitting .286 with a .521 slugging percentage that gives the Cubs a true threat in center field. Ian Happ provides the power behind him, with 16 home runs and 37 RBIs out of the corner outfield even as his average sits at .228.
On the New York side, Juan Soto anchors everything at .301 with a .398 on-base percentage and 17 home runs, the kind of line that keeps the Mets within reach on most nights. Bo Bichette has driven in 42 runs from the infield to give New York a second run producer behind Soto. With the Mets carrying the worse record of the two, a win tonight would help them close the distance on a Chicago team holding a winning mark.
