The New York Mets have taken a hit after losing two games in a row against the Chicago Cubs. The Vubs now go into the final game as the winners of this series. Game 3 between the sides will be played on Wednesday and is an intriguing matchup.
"And that's why you play deGame". - Cubs
Things have taken a dramatic turn in the National League East division. The Mets have lost two back-to-back games, allowing the Atlanta Braves to almost bridge the gap between them. With only a few games remaining in the regular season, the spot for number 1 is wide open. New York are still in pole position but only a small slip might see them lose their position. They will look to win their last game against the Cubs to maintain their top spot.
"FINAL: #Mets 1- Chicago (NL) 4 " - Mets
Chicago are part of the National League Central division. They are third in the division, behind the St. Louis Cardinals and the Milwaukee Brewers respectively. In the final phase of the league, the Cubs are out of the playoff race. Their home (30-42) and away (30-40) records illustrate their lack of consistency. A 4-6 run in the last 10 games hasn't helped either. However, their recent success against the Mets suggests that they may have turned a corner.
However, Game 3 will be a tough task for Chicago. They should be ready to face the Mets' wrath, who will be looking for vengeance. If the Cubs manage to win this game, there will be a mountain of pressure on New York to maintain their top position. The Braves are right behind them, seeking to snatch the throne.
