I am all over the Cubs in this one. The New York Mets will go with  David Peterson against the Cubs. He is 9-6 with a 3.98 ERA and 149 strikeouts this season. In his last five starts against the Cubs, Peterson is 1-2 with a 4.91 ERA and 20 strikeouts. Cade Horton goes for the Cubs. He is 11-4 with a 2.66 ERA and 95 strikeouts. He has not faced the Mets in his career. The Mets have lost two in a row, while the Cubs have dropped four straight games. The Cubs have clinched, and the Mets are tied for the last playoff spot. Horton is the Cubs’ best pitcher right now, and Peterson has struggled down the stretch. Take the Cubs in this one.
