"The Cubs won two out of three against the Phillies in Philadelphia, and the Mets are coming to town without Juan Soto and riding an eight-game losing streak."
"If the Cubs are going to win at least two this weekend, they're going to need a solid performance from one of Javier Assad or Jameson Taillon, and neither guy was particularly good his last time out."
"Making matters worse, Taillon is scheduled to face Freddy Peralta tomorrow. And although the Cubs have occasionally handled Peralta just fine the last two years, he's still very good and has shoved it right back to them on occasion, himself."
"Offensively, this weekend, I'm really, really hoping to see Pete Crow-Armstrong continue what has quietly been a slightly improved recent stretch."
The Cubs face the Mets at Wrigley Field, who are struggling with an eight-game losing streak and missing Juan Soto. After winning two of three against the Phillies, the Cubs aim to build momentum. They have challenging series ahead against the Dodgers and Padres, making victories against the Mets crucial. Javier Assad and Jameson Taillon need to perform well, despite recent struggles. The matchup between Edward Cabrera and Kodai Senga is pivotal, and there is hope for Pete Crow-Armstrong's continued improvement at the plate.
