Pittsburgh at Minnesota

Pittsburgh still is struggling to score runs as it attempts to snap a losing streak, but the Pirates have Paul Skenes on the mound tonight, and they have won four of his past six starts. However, the Pirates lost 1-0 to Seattle on Sunday when Skenes allowed no runs on five hits in five innings. He has a sparkling 1.94 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP this season with 125 strikeouts in 116 innings. The Pirates have gone UNDER eight of nine overall and five of six against American League teams. Minnesota is on an 8-2 UNDER run, and the Twins have stayed UNDER six straight against National League opponents. They have lost four of Joe Ryan's past five starts, and the Twins are 6-0 UNDER following a loss. Pittsburgh is 6-0 in Skenes' past six Friday starts, 4-0 in his past four outings against teams that allowed at least five runs in their previous game. Take the Pirates and the UNDER.
