Our Pittsburgh Pirates vs New York Mets Prediction
After just 9 starts, Paul Skenes has now earned the respect of critics, fans, and bookmakers for being one of the meanest strikeout machines in the game. Despite absorbing back-to-back losses in his last two starts, the Pirates rookie recorded 8 Ks against Tampa Bay and 9Ks against Atlanta, showing everybody, upping his strikeouts per game to 7.8. This is the first time Skenes will face the Mets’ batting lineup headed by Pete Alonzo and Brandon Nimo. And while the Mets rank in the top-10 across major offensive categories, they are not as loaded as the Braves and the Angels, teams against which Skenes collected 8 and 9 strikeouts. Our betting prediction for New York Mets vs. Pittsburgh Pirates: Bet on Paul Skenes to go OVER 7.5, -130, at DraftKings.

Paul Skenes Over 7.5 Strikeouts
