Vegas Play of the Day: New York Mets at Chicago Cubs

We've reset the Play of the Day with fresh bankrolls and turned it into a yearly competition. Our three sports writers have restarted with $10,000 bankrolls to continue using on odds from the South Point.

Chicago Cubs plus-103 vs. New York Mets: $400 to win $412

If the Cubs don’t win tonight, then the series is effectively over, with the Mets already holding a 2-0 lead as they shift to Wrigley Field.

The Mets have Jacob deGrom on the hill, while the Cubs are starting Game 3 with Kyle Kendricks, whose first postseason result saw St. Louis hit him up for three home runs in less than five innings. That’s OK, though, because betting the Cubs tonight means you’re betting on offense. To stay alive and give themselves a chance to tie the series, the Cubs have to hit deGrom in a way that few teams have.

I’m betting Chicago can do it, for a night at least.
