The Hidden Reason No One Can Pass This Value on Skenes—And What It Means for You
The Pirates are not going to turn their season around. I mean, not as currently constructed at least. This is a bad team, they don’t have enough offensive talent, and they really don’t have enough pitching to compensate for the lack of offense. Pittsburgh is just 14-27 for the season, and a lot of their struggles have come on the road. The Pirates road record is just 5-14 for the season. For the year, the team is averaging just three runs per game and hitting just .220 for the season. Today they get the one bright spot for their entire franchise taking the mound. Paul Skenes has been great since he came up last year, and is pitching well this season, too. Skenes is 3-4 with a 2.77 ERA and a 0.95 WHIP. He has made eight starts this year and only one of them has seem him allow more than three earned runs. He has allowed two or fewer earned runs in six of the eight games. One thing that has me a bit concerned is that he’s allowed four walks in each of his past two starts. He has only faced Mets hitters in 14 at-bats and has given up three hits in that time.
