The New York Mets travel to historic Wrigley Field on Friday, April 17 (2:20 p.m. ET), to face the Chicago Cubs in a high-stakes series opener.

Kodai Senga is scheduled to take the mound for New York, looking to stabilize his early-season struggles and lower his 7.07 ERA.

The Cubs will counter with right-hander Edward Cabrera, who enters the contest with a stellar 1.62 ERA and a 1-0 record.

Chicago currently holds a balanced 9-8 record, while the Mets hope to gain momentum after a rocky 7-12 start to their 2026 campaign.

The betting market lists Chicago as a -140 favorite against New York today, though the over/under is where the most value lies.
