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.
