St. Louis at Pittsburgh

The Pittsburgh Pirates are 36-50 on the season, ranked #27 in scoring with an average 3.53 runs per game. They're also #24 in batting average (.235), and have little power to speak of. Pittsburgh has Paul Skenes on the mound today, and the second-year hurler has quickly established himself as one of the top pitchers in baseball. Skenes isn't close to last year's amazing .786 win percentage, but he has a 2.12 ERA and 2.12 WHIP. St. Louis right-hander Andre Pallante draws a good matchup, and Pallante holds a 20-8 UNDER record all-time vs. weaker hitting teams. This shapes up as a low-scoring game. Back the UNDER.
