This is a 3% play on the Mets.
The Cubs have taken two of the first three games of this series, but I think that the struggling Adrian Houser is the correct call here in the finale of this four-game set.
Chicago won 1-0 yesterday. All three games have so far been tight.
Ben Brown (0-1, 4.30 ERA) gave up three runs over three innings in a 17-0 loss to Boston on Saturday. Brown is a rookie and this is the first time he's faced the Mets.
Houser gave up six runs over five innings ina 7-4 loss to the Cards in his last outing. So far Houser has struggled to open the year, but a date vs. Chicago is just what the doctor ordered to get back on track in my estimation as he's 3-2 with a 3.74 ERA in 13 career games vs. the Cubs.
Give me Houser and the METS to bounce back here at home this afternoon.
Good luck, NP
