00:00in start number 11 this year for the pittsburgh pirates don't worry buckos fans skeins isn't going

00:06anywhere just yet pittsburgh at home in the steel city a slight home favorite at minus 124 which is

00:15often only the case the rs when skeins is on the bump really hasn't meant much 10 outings for paul

00:21skeins this year pittsburgh as a team overall in those games three and seven including four

00:27consecutive losses when skeins makes a start or is he not as good as we expect he's got a 244 era

00:33this season how do you break down the matchup today inside pnc park wait skeins out i mean that's what

00:39most major league baseball teams do like hey pittsburgh will get a run okay well maybe score

00:43run against skeins and once you get to the seventh eighth or ninth inning attack that bullpen here

00:46because the lineup isn't great for the milwaukee brewers you take the terrain contreras and hoskins

00:51above average weighted on base percentages against right into pitching over the past month which

00:55again is three out of your nine batters and skeins is an above average pitcher not just your run-of-the-mill

01:00right-handed pitcher he should have a lot of success 53 degree temperatures today in pittsburgh

01:05there is a nine mile an hour wind blowing out but again that's a true pitcher's ballpark and with

01:09cooler temperatures i don't know how much that ball is going to travel now here's where freddie

01:13is like thank goodness i get to start against pittsburgh because that should be a walk in the park

01:17his last 113 batters he's faced how about a 101 iso power number against in a 265 weighted on base

01:23percentage he's been really good and outside of like o'neill cruz everybody stinks in that lineup

01:29for pittsburgh so for me if you're betting paul skeins i don't even know if you go with a k prop at

01:34this point it's almost like unbettable like hey bet him to win the game good luck with that hey bet

01:38him to get a lot of strikeouts well it's cooler temperatures pitchers don't like that necessarily

01:41and how long is he going to actually be out there so for me it probably trends more to an under and

01:47that's just because the pittsburgh pirates lineup absolutely stinks the buckos finally scored five

01:53runs yesterday for the first time in their last 27 games and still lost eight to five at home

01:59against the brew crew the new york yankees swept the rangers inside yankee stadium this week they

02:05now head out to colorado to take on the worst team in mlb history through 50 games the rockies are

02:10eight and 42 we would expect the rs the yankees have a fun weekend out there in denver look at that price

02:16yeah exactly and it's tanner gordon on the mound yeah captain america out here going up a lot of

02:23that smashes right-handed pitching let me see the temperatures out here 80 degrees light wind blowing

02:28in hey by the way phillies yesterday seven and a half team total didn't get anywhere near that and
