Skenes pitching for the Pirates no longer guarantees any guaranteed advantage, either in betting or in the development of baseball games, for the Pittsburgh team, not because of poor starts by the sensational rookie pitcher but because of the lackluster offensive support he receives. Skenes threw five scoreless bats in the first five innings, but up to that point the game was tied 0-0. The Cardinals' Burleson hit a two-run double off Skenes, which at that point made it 1-2 in favor of the Cards, and that was the final score.
Hayes remains the Pirates' only hot hitter. He was the one who broke the five-inning no-hit streak that Cardinals pitcher Liberatore had in Game 2.
With this, the Cardinals will be looking to sweep the Pirates at Busch Stadium, seeking to extend their winning streak to four consecutive games. Betting action suggests this is very likely to happen in Game 3, with the Cards as heavy favorites at -175 odds.
