“Could Gray’s Unexpected Strategy Be the Key to Outsmarting Pirates?”
The Pirates are also off to a rough start and are sitting at 4-7 for the season. They are 2-2 at home this year, and I think there is a possibility that the team will be able to remain around .500 for the season at home at the very least. For the year, the Pirates are only hitting .207 for the year, but they only have scored 40 runs in their 11 games. The pitching staff has been better than St. Louis’s but it hasn’t been that much better. The Pirates pitching staff has a 4.89 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP. Opponents are actually hitting slightly better off of Pirates pitchers than the off of Cardinals hitters, too. Today they get the best of their starters taking the mound with Paul Skenes on the bump. Skenes was brilliant in his last start, going seven innings and allowing just three hits and one unearned run. Skenes faced the Cardinals a few times last season, and they are hitting just .214 against him. Three of those hits were for extra bases. Nolan Arenado and Alec Burleson are both 4-for-9 against him.Â
