Chicago Cubs at New York Mets MLB Betting Lines

Written September 25, 2008 by Jay Todd

The Cubs send Rich Harden to the hill to take on the Mets and Pedro Martinez on September 25th. Chicago made a great comeback in last night’s game, so expect the Mets to still feel a little shock from blowing a 4 run lead. There is no pressure on the Cubs, as they already know where they stand in the post-season. Look for them to play loose, which will be a huge plus for the Cubs. The current MLB betting lines show the Cubs as the favorites at -110 over the Mets.

Harden has been lights out since joining the Cubs. He is 5-1 with an unbelievable ERA of 1.66. The Mets have not faced Harden this season, which is a huge advantage to the Cubs. It will take time for the Mets’ lineup to get a feel for Harden and by time they do, it will be too late. Look for Harden to continue putting up incredible numbers.

Pedro Martinez has been well below average this season. Pedro is only 5-6 with a very high ERA of 5.50. Don’t look for those numbers to go down as Pedro will face a very tough Cubs lineup. Derek Lee has a small 4 game hits streak going, where he has recorded 3 doubles and 1 homerun. Look for Lee to stay on this hot streak as he prepares himself for post-season play. Aramis Ramirez has been seeing the ball well in the first 2 games of this series. He is 4 four 8 with 2 doubles and a homerun. Look for Ramirez so stay hot against struggling Pedro.

With all the pressure on the Mets, look for the Cubs to play loose behind ace Rich Harden and cruise to the win. Watch the Cubs lineup to rip Pedro from the get-go. Jay Todd suggests you take the Cubs tonight against the Mets.
