Cubs vs Mets Same-Game Parlay, Preview

I like the plus-money value we’re getting with the Cubs tonight. Despite coming off back-to-back losses, Chicago is poised to bounce back on the road.
Cubs starter Jameson Taillon has been particularly effective against this Mets lineup, holding them to a .162 batting average over 74 at-bats. Given his track record, I expect Taillon to deliver another strong outing and help lead the Cubs to a much-needed win.
