The Mets and Cubs used to be huge rivals when they shared a division, the NL East.
But since the teams were moved to different divisions 30 years ago, they meet only twice a year, once in each ballpark. After this week the teams will play a three-game set at Wrigley Field in June, then not again until 2025, unless somehow they match up in the postseason.

The Mets had a bit of a rough weekend against the Cardinals, dropping the first and second games of the series before winning the finale yesterday afternoon to avoid getting swept.
