Chicago Cubs vs New York Mets Prediction & Picks : Winning Game Angles

The bet on 'Chicago Cubs Under 5.5' for the Team Total Runs is backed by the New York Mets' strong defensive performance in recent games. The Mets have allowed an average of just 2.6 runs in their last five games overall and on the road. This suggests a solid pitching lineup, further supported by the low average pitcher walks (Pit Bb) of 3.2 overall and 1.8 away. On the other hand, while the Cubs have a high average of 6.8 runs scored in their last five games, both overall and at home, their batting performance has been slightly declining, with an average of 10.6 hits overall and 10.2 at home in the last five games. This combination of Mets' strong defense and Cubs' slightly declining offense makes the 'Under 5.5' bet a reasonable choice.

The bet on 'Chicago Cubs Under 5.5' is a reasoned choice considering the recent defensive performance of the New York Mets. In their last five games, the Mets have allowed an average of only 2.6 runs, both overall and away. This demonstrates a consistently strong defensive performance, irrespective of the venue.

The Chicago Cubs have shown strong offensive performance, averaging 6.8 runs per game in their last five games, well above the 3.5 total runs line for this bet. Their batting average of 10.6 hits per game also indicates a high offensive capability.
