How to Watch Mets at Cubs (Sept. 24): Stream MLB Live, TV Channel

The New York Mets need every win they can get fighting for the last NL Wild Card spot, facing off on Wednesday against the Chicago Cubs.

This already feels like a playoff series, as the Chicago Cubs host the New York Mets in Game 2 on Wednesday night. The Mets are still fighting for their playoff lives, with New York trying to overcome a tough last month of the season. The good news for the Mets is that they won the opener of the series 9-7. The more important factor coming with that win is that they now hold a one-game lead over the surging Cincinnati Reds for the third and final National League Wild Card spot. Cincinnati overtook New York for that spot earlier in the week, but New York was helped out on Tuesday with the Reds losing to the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Arizona Diamondbacks aren’t too far behind the Mets either, sitting just 1.5 games back. The Cubs are breathing easy, already clinching a playoff spot holding onto the first NL Wild Card slot. The Mets hold the 3-1 season series lead over the Cubs. But Chicago should be the favorite at home tonight. If the opener was any indication, the 88-win Cubs aren’t phoning this into the playoffs as they try to surpass the 90-win mark before the end of the regular season.

Things were looking like gravy for the Cubs to start the opener. Francisco Lindor scored the first run of the game on a homer in the first, but Chicago got up by as much as 6-1 by the fourth inning. But that’s when the Mets completely flipped the script. Lindor got a rally going, driving in a run on a ground out in an inning that New York would score five. The inning was absolutely highlighted by a three-run jack by Brandon Nimmo. Lindor would give the Mets their first lead of the game since the first, with an RBI single in the sixth. The Cubs would tie it in the bottom of the inning with an RBI single by Seiya Suzuki. The hard fought battle was finally won by the Mets when Francisco Alvarez hit a tie-breaking two-run homer in the eighth inning.

The Mets will put their playoff hopes in the hands of Jonah Tong, as the righty gets the start tonight. Tong is 2-2 with a 5.94 ERA, making his MLB debut at the end of August. Chicago will have the advantage on the mound to defend homefield by starting Matthew Boyd. The lefty is 13-8 with a 3.20 ERA.
