Pirates vs Rockies Prediction

Right when it looked like the Rockies were providing betting value, they’re back to their losing ways and showing they’re still one of the worst teams in MLB history. I also have a rule of not betting on guys making their MLB debut, and McCade Brown isn’t even a top-30 prospect in the Rockies system. Oh, there’s also one of the best arms in the sport on the other side in Skenes, who has a 1.81 ERA and .193 allowed batting average in 74.2 home innings. This is a mismatch. Give me the Pirates and the RL for max betting value.
