Cubs and Mets to Lock Horns: A Battle for Dominance at Citi Field

As the Chicago Cubs prepare to face the New York Mets at Citi Field on April 30, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain its recent momentum. The Cubs' performance in their last few games has been a mixed bag, with some promising trends but also areas of concern.

In their most recent game against the Boston Red Sox, the Cubs struggled offensively, managing only five hits and failing to score a run. Their batting average was a paltry .156, and they left eleven runners on base. The bullpen's ERA soared to an alarming 29.077 after giving up fourteen runs over just 4.1 innings pitched.

However, looking back at the previous game against Boston provides a glimmer of hope. The Cubs showed resilience with fourteen hits and seven runs scored while maintaining an impressive .359 batting average. Their bullpen held strong with an ERA of zero over 2.2 innings pitched.

The game before that saw the Cubs playing at home against Houston Astros where they secured a win with seven hits leading to three runs while keeping their errors down to zero.

Analyzing these performances suggests that consistency is key for the Cubs as they approach their next challenge in New York. While there have been struggles both offensively and defensively, there have also been moments where both aspects have clicked together harmoniously.

Fans can tune into MLB Network on April 30th at 7:10 PM Eastern Time (ET) for live coverage from Citi Field in Flushing, Queens as the Chicago team aims for victory away from home soil amidst fluctuating trends in hitting and pitching stats that could play pivotal roles in this encounter.
