00:00Game number two, we'll talk about a 640 start from Pittsburgh.

00:02If you're struggling on offense, as the Dodgers did yesterday,

00:05they didn't play to run.

00:06They're going to get Paul Skeens today on the mound.

00:08Skeens probably going to win the NL Cy Young Award,

00:10but look at this price point here.

00:12You might be saying like, oh, Dodgers struggling.

00:13Skeens at home, sign me up.

00:15Blake Snell has also been very, very good.

00:17Price point around a minus 120 to a minus 125,

00:20depending on where you're shopping at in a total that's listed at seven.

00:24Last 30 days, Blake Snell, 2.54 ERA.

00:26Paul Skeens, 2.91.

00:27Both of these guys with elite XFIP numbers here.

00:30What gives in this game?

00:31I'll tell you right now.

00:32The expectation is not for runs, Joe.

00:35No, the first run wins this game here.

00:39But why would the Dodgers be a favorite at PNC Park in this part?

00:44Like, you've got to be kidding me.

00:46They're on the verge of getting swept again.

00:49And now they've got Paul Skeens on the mound to go against here.

00:53And he has been absolutely, we know this, lights out at home here.

00:59And, I mean, call me crazy, it's not like Blake Snell hasn't been great also.

01:04So, we've got two dominant pitchers going at one another here.

01:09No runs here.

01:11It's been a bet of mine all season long.

01:13If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

01:14The under in the first five, it's down to three and a half with Skeens at PNC Park.

01:19I do not trust the Dodger hitters to get to him.

01:23Also, what about Blake Snell in over six and a half strikeouts, Donnie?

01:28Would it shock you if he gets double-digit Ks against this Pittsburgh lineup?
