00:00We'll be right back.
00:03Center stage in Pittsburgh, Paxton Skeens, and the only surprise coming from many here
00:07is why the Pittsburgh Pirates are the favorite today at a minus 112 price here right at the
00:12Vanduul Sportsbook and a total of eight and a half yesterday.
00:15The Dodgers didn't score, Craig.
00:16Will the Dodgers score today?
00:17Will they win?
00:18I mean, I think at this point you have to back Skeens every start.
00:22I mean, it doesn't seem to matter, Donnie.
00:25Any fading, you've lost any fade.
00:28You've lost his games fading.
00:29You've lost his strikeouts.
00:31You've lost his amount of runs given up.
00:33And until further notice, outside of his first start of the season, I mean, he's virtually
00:38been unhittable.
00:39Now, look, he's going up against maybe the best lineup in the National League, potentially.
00:44Maybe the Braves, maybe the Phillies.
00:45You can have that debate.
00:46I would expect a very exciting, tight game today where it probably is going to come down
00:52to Chapman in the ninth inning getting a save.
00:54That would be my guess.
00:55I don't know if you saw that video of him.
00:56He thought he gave up a home run.
00:57He looked up.
00:58He was all mad.
00:59And then the guy just caught the ball in center field.
01:01So I think it'll come down to that.
01:03Or Bednor, by the way, for Pittsburgh.
01:04They're going to have to close out a close game against L.A. would be my guess.
