The Pittsburgh Pirates are 6-4 to open the season. Paul Skeenes has not found himself yet in the early going, posting a 1-1 record and a 9.53 ERA. He has walked four and struck out just six through his two starts. San Diego is 5-5 on the season, and will turn to Nick Pivetta to get them over .500. Pivetta had a weak first start, but came back in his last outing, working 5 innings with one hit, no runs, and eight strikeouts. It sure looks like Pivetta is ahead of Skeenes at this early stage of the season, and we're catching value on the road squad. Make the play on San Diego.
