The Pittsburgh Pirates are not having a good season, but the bright spot has been Paul Skeenes. Skeenes has been at his best when pitching at home, where he has a 1.70 ERA. Skennes overall has allowed his opponent to get more than one earned run in just five of his last 16 starts! The Toronto Blue Jays have Kevin Gausman on the mound, and he has been pitching great over his last nine starts. Gausman has allowed opponents to score more than three runs in just one of his previous nine starts. This game is going to be tough to find the scoreboard, as the pitchers have a significant edge on both sides. Make the play UNDER the total.
