The New York Mets and Chicago Cubs are locked in a first-place tie after both teams notched their 37th win of the season on Sunday. The Mets defeated the Colorado Rockies 5-3 at Citi Field, improving their record to 37-22 and maintaining a narrow lead in the NL East. Their recent hot streak—winning eight of their last ten—has kept them just ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies, who trail by one game.
Meanwhile, the Cubs matched the Mets’ record at 37-22, holding first place in the NL Central. Chicago’s offense has been dominant, outscoring opponents by 97 runs this season, the best run differential in the National League. The Cubs have also won eight of their last ten, riding a two-game winning streak into their upcoming series against the Nationals.
With both teams surging, all eyes are on their next matchups: the Mets face the Dodgers in Los Angeles, while the Cubs travel to Washington. As June begins, the race for NL supremacy is heating up, and every game could shift the standings.
