The Toronto Blue Jays and the Pittsburgh Pirates will play the middle game of their 3-game set this afternoon at Rogers Centre. The Jays are hot, winning Game 1, 6-2, and have now won three straight but if anyone can slow them down it is the expected starter for the Bucs, Paul Skenes. He is the best pitcher in the majors without a doubt. Skenes is 6-3 with a 2.60 ERA and a ridiculous WHIP of only 0.71. If Pittsburgh is going to win this game the solution is simple. Let Skenes go deep into the game, give him a few runs, and Pittsburgh evens the series at a game apiece.
