- AAA Sports' Selection -- Pittsburgh Pirates (ML):
Pittsburgh will start Paul Skenes on Wednesday. Off the rockiest start of his career, we like him to bounce back today.
The Pirates' ace is the face of the MLB into his 3rd season and he will not have another outing like the one he had to begin the year.
They are 32-24 all time when Skenes is pitching and they have a much better lineup this season.
Cincinnati will start Andrew Abbott. He's also an up-and-coming arm with lots of talent. But, he didn't look un-hittable in his first start, allowing seven hits in six innings.
The Reds had a ton of trouble hitting Chandler yesterday and that will be the same story today.
We're on Pittsburgh.
