Orioles vs Pirates Prediction
The Orioles are playing the better ball this week, but they’re throwing out Wells, who has just 5 innings under his belt this season. Not ideal. The Pirates aren’t winning, but it’s tough to bet against a pitcher in Skenes who has a 1.98 ERA and 0.94 WHIP. In his last 40 innings, Skenes has allowed 35 hits and 11 earned runs. In his last 19 innings, Skenes has allowed 1 earned run. Two teams going nowhere, but I’m going to side with arguably the best arm in the sport, especially at this reasonable price. Give me the Pirates.
