The Cubs come into this series 18-6.

New York Mets left-hander David Peterson followed one of the rougher starts of his brief major-league career with one of his best, the most recent.

"This kid has shown that ever since the first time I met him," Mets manager Luis Rojas said. "He wanted the ball. He wanted to come in and pitch. ... I think this kid doesn't get in his head. He just goes and corrects what he needs to correct, and he goes after it. So you've got to give the kudos to him."

Right-hander Zach Davies (1-2, 10.32) will look to reverse course for Chicago while giving the bullpen a break. Over his past two starts, Davies has yielded 11 runs on 12 hits in just 5 2/3 innings. He allowed four runs in four innings against the Atlanta Braves on Friday in his most recent start, a 5-2 loss.

Davies is 3-2 with a 5.06 ERA in seven career starts against New York, with 26 strikeouts in 37 1/3 innings.

Cubs +112 at home, we'll take it.
