Mets vs. Cubs prediction (7:10 p.m. ET, SNY)
Though he’s coming off a tough outing in opposition to the Miami Marlins, Peterson has been quietly efficient for the Mets this season. Pitching on a staff that features Jacob deGrom, Max Scherzer, Edwin Diaz, and Chris Bassitt, it’s simple for Peterson to get misplaced within the shuffle, however a 3.47 ERA and three.26 xFIP in 98.1 innings of labor will definitely play, particularly for somebody on the back-end of a rotation.

Smyly is clearly the B-side of this pitching matchup, however he’s been an honest innings-eater for a foul Cubs staff in 2022. The 33-year-old southpaw boasts a 3.57 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in 98.1 innings and though his 4.30 xFIP does counsel some damaging regression is coming, it’s not an alarming quantity.
Each Smyly and Peterson must also profit from the matchup tonight as they’re each left-handed pitchers going up in opposition to offenses that typically carry out worse in opposition to southpaws than they do in opposition to right-handers. Total, the Mets personal a .324 wOBA and 113 wRC+ this season, however these numbers dip to .310 and 104, respectively, in opposition to lefties. The Cubs sport a .305 wOBA and 95 wRC+ in opposition to southpaws, which is barely worse than their season-long metrics.
