Paul Skenes Prediction vs. Cardinals

Prediction: Cardinals moneyline (+120)

With the end of the regular season just around the corner, we are running out of opportunities to bet on Skenes.

Because the prop markets are so efficient, Iโ€™m actually betting against Skenes in Mondayโ€™s matchup against the St. Louis Cardinals. But that is more of a reflection of the Pittsburgh Pirates than the talented rookie hurler.

With St. Louis right-hander Andre Pallante starting, Pittsburghโ€™s lineup has a tough challenge on deck. The Pirates rank 28th in wRC+ against righties, which is better than only the Colorado Rockies and the Chicago White Sox.

St. Louis also has a better bullpen, ranking seventh in the league with a 3.64 ERA. Pittsburghโ€™s relievers are 27th with a 4.60 ERA.

Bettors want to back Skenes, and the baseball odds reflect that. There is value in this plus-money price on the home underdog.
