The New York Mets and Chicago Cubs square off in game two of their day/night doubleheader on Saturday evening.

The results of the first game shouldn’t have too much bearing on the evening matchup, unless the bullpens get used heavily in game one for whatever reason.

The Cubs haven’t been particularly good anywhere this season, as they head into the day with a 17-25 home record. On the other side, the Mets have been road warriors, posting a 28-19 road record, good for third best in the National League.

Max Scherzer is on the mound for the Mets in game two, and he’ll be taking on veteran left-hander Drew Smyly. Obviously, the Mets have a huge edge anytime Scherzer is on the mound, but if Smyly is right, the Cubs could have a puncher’s chance in game two.
