Prediction
The Cubs upset the Mets in the first game of the series but they'll now have to face the best pitcher in the entire league. Jacob DeGrom who has been pretty solid this season and the Mets have won in his last 3 starts allowing no more than 1 run in those games. Adrian Sampson will start for the Cubs who has been up and down this season and the Cubs have lost in his last 4 starts. The Mets have a clear advantage on the mound so expect them to bounce back and win this game by 2 or more runs.
