As the Cubs prepare to host the Mets, all eyes should be on Francisco Alvarez, who is primed for a standout performance at the plate. Recently, he’s been a force, showcasing a keen eye and a power surge that has resulted in multiple hits in key games. The Cubs' pitching staff has seen its fair share of struggles, particularly against right-handed hitters, and with Alvarez swinging confidently from the right side, he has a favorable matchup today.
With an impressive track record this season, Alvarez has consistently found ways to get on base, and the odds are in his favor today. The Mets are riding high on offensive momentum, and given the Cubs’ recent tendency to allow hits, it’s hard to envision Alvarez not adding to his hit total. Betting on him to go over 0.5 hits feels like a savvy play, especially amidst the buzz of this high-stakes matchup.
