How Skenes’ Unstoppable Pitching is Quietly Dooming the Astros’ Offense
Ever wondered what happens when sports passion spirals into downright dangerous obsession? Today’s Astros vs. Pirates matchup isn’t just about stats and strategy — it’s a stark reminder of how far some folks will go when the bets don’t pay off. Lance McCullers Jr., the Astros’ starter, recently faced some of the ugliest backlash imaginable — death threats — all because a bettor lost money. It’s a cautionary tale wrapped in a pitching duel: McCullers, nursing a rough start to the season yet hinting at a comeback, goes up against Paul Skenes, Pittsburgh’s rising star who’s been practically untouchable lately. The Astros aren’t exactly kings of the AL West anymore, and the Pirates haven’t tasted real postseason success in forever — but underneath these records lie gripping stories of resilience, hope, and, sadly, some misplaced fury from fans. As the evening unfolds, it’s anyone’s guess who will prevail — but one thing’s crystal clear: respect has to win over rage every single time. LEARN MORE.Astros vs. Pirates, 6:40 ET
