The Pittsburgh Pirates will have the best pitcher in the league on the mound in Paul Skeenes. Skeenes brings a 1.83 ERA into this contest, and over his last 11 starts, he has allowed zero runs in seven of them. The Rockies are the worst team in baseball and may challenge for the worst record all-time. This team is 9-42 when they are posted as a dog of +175 to +250, so the odds here may be posted as just over a 2-1 favorite for the Pirates, the reality is the Rockies lose at close to a 5-1 rate in this spot. That is a tremendous difference, and they likely struggle to score in this one. Make the play on Pittsburgh.
