St. Louis Cardinals vs. Pittsburgh Pirates Prop Pick
1u - Paul Skenes u1.5 Walks (-140) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Paul Skenes will be a popular guy today. He is facing a St Louis team he already looked great against and you will see countless bets on him in a variety of markets. I think this is the sneakiest and maybe the best for tonight, allow me to explain why.
St. Louis Cardinals vs. Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction
Skenes has walked 1 or less batters in 8 of his last 10 starts. When he faced off against St. Louis just over a month ago, he didn’t walk a single batter and dominated the strike zone. He is looking more and more settled in as a major leaguer and can pump that triple digit fastball right down broadway and most will miss entirely.
St. Louis ranks in the bottom 10 of teams in taking walks, and 9 of the last 11 starting pitchers to face them have walked 1 or less batters. I expect Skenes to fall under that trend, and the combination of his personal hit rate and the hit rate against St Louis is undeniable. Would love to ride the momentum from yesterday and lets roll!!
