Chicago Cubs DFS SPIN
Cody Bellinger went 3-for-3 with two RBI before coming out of Monday’s loss to the Mets. Bellinger knocked in both Cubs runs. He’s had multiple hits in four straight games, and he’s 14-for-26 with a homer, nine RBI and five steals in seven games this month.
New York Mets DFS SPIN
Pete Alonso went 3-for-4 with two homers and six RBI as the Mets crushed the Cubs 11-2 on Monday. Both homers came off Drew Smyly. It was Alonso’s fourth two-homer game of the season and the second six-RBI game of his career; he also had one four years ago versus the Braves. Alonso is third in the majors in both homers (33) and RBI (83).

Cubs vs. Mets MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Taillon is 6-6 with a 5.36 ERA and earned the win last Thursday, allowing two runs over five innings in the Cubs’ 5-3 victory over the Reds. He’s 2-0 with a 2.25 ERA in three career starts against the Mets. On the other side, Carrasco is 3-6 with a 6.60 ERA and took another loss last Thursday when he surrendered six runs over six innings as the Mets fell to the Royals, 9-2. He’s 2-1 with a 2.74 ERA in four career starts against the Cubs but he has stunk all season. Give me Chicago.
