This week's Mets vs Cubs series looked to have 'clean sweep' written all over it - but we didn't think it would be the Cubbies holding the broom. Can they complete the three for three tonight? Read on as we explain how to watch the Mets vs Cubs games online and live stream today's MLB action on the ESPN Plus streaming service.
Date: Thursday, April 22
Time: 7.40pm ET / 6.40pm CT / 4.40pm PT
Venue: Wrigley Field, Chicago, Illinois
US TV coverage: catch it on ESPN Plus
The Mets came into the series off the back of five victories in six games, whereas the Cubs were reeling after eight defeats in 12, but David Ross' men ground out a victory that could work wonders for the team's confidence, but particularly that of Jake Arrieta, who has been under fire of late. And then came the 16-4 whooping yesterday.
It'll be interesting to see how the Mets' error-strewn men respond to the defeat. They've arguably been fortunate to find themselves as one of the National League division leaders, and that might not last unless they step things up.
Whether you’re a Mets fan in New York, a Cubs fan in Chicago or just an MLB follower wanting to watch the baseball at Wrigley Field, we’ll show you how to get a high-quality MLB live stream of the Mets vs Cubs game.
