The Cubs are coming off of just their second series win in well over a month, but they’re facing a Mets team that recently completed a seven-game win streak thanks to Grimace throwing out the first pitch. At the risk of placing too much importance on these games, Pat Hughes might say that you feel like this could be a turning point. Ron Coomer would certainly agree.
Both teams are three games shy of the .500 mark and just one game out of the Wild Card, so a sweep in either direction makes everything look a lot better.
