Before making any Mets vs. Cubs picks, you NEED to check out the MLB predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model .
The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times, and it is 275-236 on top-rated MLB money-line picks since the start of the 2021 season, returning over $400 for $100 players. This is the same model that pegged the 2021 Atlanta Braves at 10-1 as one of three best bets to win it all last season. Anybody who has followed it has seen profitable returns.
The model knows New York shortstop Francisco Lindor is an impact player on both sides of the game. Lindor is a superb athlete with unbelievable range. The four-time All-Star owns the bat speed to quickly turn on any pitch he likes. He is tied for sixth in the league in RBIs (65) with 16 home runs.'
