Mets Vs. Cubs Preview: Chicago Welcomes New York To Wrigley Field

The Cubs begin a six-game homestand on Monday.

Presswire

As the Chicago Cubs prepare for the start of a series against the Mets on Monday, they're trying to work their way out of another rough stretch. The offense has been absent over their last five games, as they've scored a total of nine runs in that time, and the pitching hasn't been any better. They'll hope for better fortunes as they return to Wrigley Field for a homestand.
