00:00This is a great pitching matchup, Paul Skeens versus Max Freed, and you've got to look at

00:08both of these pitchers to come out strong.

00:10Giving Max Freed a little bit of respect, he's 7-3 on the season with an ERA of 3 and

00:15that whip at 1.07, but it's Paul Skeens here, so I had to find a bet on the Pirates.

00:21Now, I wanted to look at the Pirates in the first five innings in case something happens

00:25with the bullpen here, but I expect Skeens to go deep into this, probably deep into that

00:29seventh inning.

00:30So, I'm going to look at the Pirates in the first five on that money line coming in at

00:34plus 1.06.

00:35I do think, though, this is a pitching battle.

00:38I think both of these pitchers will have success.

00:40I think this is a game that you look at the under 7.5 in as well, that coming in at minus

00:451.14.

00:46I don't think we're going to see a lot of bats flying out there.

00:51With the Atlanta Braves, it is always cautious to take it under because we know the Braves'

00:56bats can get nice and hot, but Paul Skeens should be able to limit them in this one,

01:00Kevin.

01:01Yeah, I think Skeens has been incredible, Joe.

01:03I'm curious, have you followed his movement in the awards market at all, whether that

01:09be Cy Young, Rookie of the Year?

01:12I know it's something that I'm kind of obsessed about a little bit, but have you followed

01:17any of this additional Skeens stuff?

01:21I haven't been looking over the last couple of weeks, but I remember the last time I looked

01:25in that movement has been crazy out there, Kevin.
