Mets vs Cubs MLB Live Stream Reddit for Thursday's Pivotal Wild Card Race Clash

After being left for dead in July, the New York Mets are back in the Wild Card hunt in 2019. After losing the first two games of the series to the Cubs, a fellow Wild Card contender, Thursday's matchup is a must-win contest for New York.

First pitch will be thrown at 7:10 p.m. ET. The game will be nationally televised on MLB Network and shown locally on SNY and ABC 7. Streaming is available via the MLB Streams subreddit.

Mets Lineup

With a Mets lineup featuring many powerful righty bats against Jon Lester, lefty Michael Conforto may be the most important. Conforto has struggled against southpaws this year, hitting only six homers with a .681 OPS in 150 at-bats. The Mets' offense is most dominant when Conforto is productive and he needs to start being more consistent.

Ace Jacob deGrom (8-7 2.56 ERA) will try to salvage the series for New York. Yup, deGrom's ERA is 0.96 in his last seven starts, but he only has three wins to show for it.

Cubs Lineup

The Cubs' offense is hot after scoring 10 runs on Wednesday. Trade deadline acquisition Nicholas Castellanos has been great for Chicago, hitting .371/.400/.661 in his last 15 games.

Who better to have on the mound for a big game than Lester? The three-time World Series Champ should have no problem pitching in a game with Wild Card ramifications.
