Cubs at Pirates

Pick: Pirates ML (-120 Fanatics)

We get a real marquee pitching matchup here. Cade Horton, the current betting favorite for the NL Rookie of the Year, goes up against Paul Skenes, a virtual lock to win NL Cy Young.

It’s tough to bet on the Pirates in general, but with Skenes on the mound they always have a good shot even with their usual popgun offense.

Skenes’ overall greatness is of course no secret, but he’s incredibly consistent as well. He’s gone at least 5 innings in all but 1 of his 30 starts, and he’s allowed more than 2 earned runs just 5 times.
