Paul Skenes is human after all. Skenes, Pittsburgh's superstar pitcher, gave up five earned runs in five innings to the Phillies in a 6-0 loss during his last start six days ago. That put Skenes' ERA at 2.63. The Blue Jays have a higher batting average than the Phillies. Toronto is also on a three-game winning streak, giving up only three runs during this span. Pittsburgh is 2-5 in its last seven games. The Pirates are 4-9 against left-handed starting pitching, and facing Toronto's veteran southpaw Patrick Corbin, who has not allowed more than three earned runs during any of his past seven starts. Corbin is 6-4 with a 3.50 ERA in 15 career starts against the Pirates. Take the Blue Jays.
