Due to a lack of time this morning, I have to make a really light game preview so here it goes.

The Cubs and the Mets will finish their series today with a rubber game as the Mets try to take a series for the first time in a while and to do that, they will need to back the struggling Mike Pelfrey.

Apparently, Cora has been giving him words of encouragement recently, so lets see if that helps him today.

The Mets recently have also done something that they have not done in a really long time which is in each of their last three games they have hit a homer (two of them coming from Sullivan for his first two of the season). If they could extend that streak to four, it would be a nice little subplot for today’s game.

So, to win today, they should hit around Wells a bit, but drag it out because they have not been terribly effective against the Cubs bullpen.

Pelfrey just needs to be effective (and if Cora isn’t enough inspiration, he can look over to Parnell who was able to do it in his last start).

Lets Go Mets! Beat the Cubs! Take the Series!
