The Mets are running low on chances to make the postseason.
With six games left, they sit tied for the final wild card position with the Reds after dropping a series to the lowly Nationals.
Chicago clinched a wild card spot last week and looks to secure the top position in its final six games.
First pitch is slated for 7:40 p.m. ET with David Peterson (9-6, 3.98 ERA) facing Cade Horton (11-4, 2.66 ERA).

What our Post expert thinks about Mets vs. Cubs
Peterson has struggled with allowing hard contact this season and holds a 4.44 xERA, but is one of the most efficient ground ball pitchers in baseball. He elicits grounders at a 55.7% rate per Statcast, which is in the 94th percentile.
Horton’s rookie season points to regression as he carries a 3.82 xERA. He’s recorded back-to-back wins having allowed one earned run. He has impressive velocity (95.7 mph), but hasn’t been able to curb power when balls are barreled.
The Mets took the first series against the Cubs in New York back in May 2-1.
