Mets host Cubs in crucial four-game series at Citi Field

The New York Mets (34-43) face the Chicago Cubs (40-37) for a four-game series starting June 22 at Citi Field. The Mets look to improve their standings after struggling recently, having lost two out of three games to the Cardinals and two consecutive games to the Phillies. Starting pitching remains a concern for the Mets, with Freddy Peralta experiencing significant difficulties in his latest outing. Conversely, the Cubs find themselves in a Wild Card position after a recent surge, but their pitching staff is underperforming, except for standout Ben Brown, who may miss this series due to a rainout. Kodai Senga is set to start for the Mets, seeking to regain form after a challenging rehabilitation period.
