Pick 6: Predictions for Cubs-Mets series

In this episode of the Mully & Haugh Show, the hosts dive into the upcoming Cubs-Mets series at Wrigley Field, offering bold predictions and analysis. They express strong confidence in the Cubs' current offensive surge, highlighting the team's balanced attack with multiple players contributing, especially Nico Horner and Michael Bush. While skeptical about the Mets' ace Freddy Peralta dominating at Wrigley, they predict the Cubs will win the series in two out of three games. The discussion shifts to concerns about the Cubs' pitching, particularly Matthew Boyd’s inconsistent return from injury, with both hosts expressing unease about his readiness and reliability. The segment then turns to the White Sox’s dismal 6-13 start, criticizing their bullpen collapses, lack of offensive firepower, and erratic use of openers and relievers. The hosts debate whether the team’s strategy is truly about player development or a form of intentional rebuilding, questioning the wisdom of overusing young pitchers and rotating lineups without a clear path to winning. Despite frustration, they acknowledge the long-term vision may be valid, though it's proving painful for fans in the short term.
