T.M. Selection: Mets (10* TRADE-MARK).

The Mets have a golden opportunity to sweep this series over the Cubs, and I believe they'll do that with Marcus Stroman on the mound. Stroman (6-4, 2.33 ERA) comes in off a dominant win over the Padres, striking out eight and allowing one run over 6.1 innings. So far he has a 67/18 K/W over 77.2 innings of work and a 1.49 ERA at home. Kyle Hendricks (8-4, 4.46) looks primed for a letdown after six straight wins in my opinion. He beat the soft-hitting Cardinals in his last outing, but I think he's overmatched here by the red hot Stroman. A great price on the superior home pitcher; lay it!

T.M. Prediction: 6-3 New York.
