The Pittsburgh Pirates will go for a series win over the Tampa Bay Rays this afternoon at PNC Park. These two clubs are similar in many ways but not today because the Bucs are expected to have the rookie sensation, Paul Skenes, on the hill. He is a perfect 4-0 with a 2.29 ERA and a WHIP of only 0.99 to go along with 53 punchouts. The Rays are expected to counter with Aaron Civale. He is having a disappointing year, with a record of 2-5, a 5.42 ERA, a 1.39 WHIP, and Tampa is 0-6 in his last 6 road starts.
