    The Chicago White Sox and the New York Mets enter the second game of their midweek series on Tuesday night. The Mets (28-21) are in second place in the National League East despite dropping two of three to the visiting Dodgers over the weekend, losing on Sunday, 4-2. The White Sox (27-24) have fallen all the way to third in the American League Central after a six-game losing streak that included a three-game sweep at the hands of the Kansas City Royals over the weekend, the last game sending them a half-game behind the Cleveland Indians.

    A Quick Rundown on the Chicago White Sox at New York Mets MLB Betting Report & Game Info

    When: Tuesday, May 31, 2016, 7:10 PM Eastern time Where: Citi Field, Flushing, NY TV: CSN, SNY Radio: Chicago / New York Live Stream: MLB.tv MLB Odds: TBA Pitching Matchup: Mat Latos (6-1, 4.06 ERA) (CHI) vs Steven Matz (7-1, 2.36 ERA) (NY)

    Why should you bet on Chicago?

    Offense has hot been the problem for the Palehose in their slide. Against the Royals, they scored 16 runs in the three losses. The problem was that they gave up 21 runs, which is definitely not a testament to their pitching staff. They do send Mat Latos to the hill in this game, and he has pitched well this season — and did well his last time out against Cleveland, permitting just five hits and three runs in six innings to post a quality start. If the bullpen could close the door after that, the White Sox should be able to generate enough offense to take away a win.

    Why should you put your money on the Mets?

    The Mets will be starting Steven Matz in this game. He was awful in his season debut, permitting seven runs to Miami, but since then he has gone 7-0 and posted a sparkling 1.13 ERA. When he pitches well, it is because he can locate his fastball with perfection — and that’s exactly what he has been able to do. The only member of the White Sox who has faced Matz (this being an interleague game) is Todd Frazier, who is just 1-for- 6 lifetime (although that hit was a home run). Neil Walker (.318, 2 HR, 4 RBI) and Alejandro De Aza (.667) have had some success for the Mets against Latos in the past.

    Expert Betting Pick and Final Score Prediction

    I like the Mets to keep the White Sox reeling in this one, as Matz should have his way with the White Sox hitters. I’m predicting a 5-1 New York win.
