Think we have to fade Livvy Dunne's BF (so bothered I know this), otherwise known as Paul Skenes, for now because we may not be able to much longer as that dude is gonna be awesome if he stays healthy. Think prime Stephen Strasburg. It's the big righty's MLB debut. Skenes topped 4.1 innings just once this season in the minors (never more than 75 pitches) as the team will obviously be careful with its potential future Cy Young winner. So I think the Cubs can get to that Pittsburgh bullpen if need be. And it's not like Justin Steele is some clown, either. Seiya Suzuki is off the injured list.

I'm loving Paul Skenes for his debut today. Look at the over on his K props, as he'll generate plenty of swings and misses with his electric stuff. He won't get past the sixth and might only pitch for five innings, but he'll hold the Cubs down in that time. Cubs ace Justin Steele won't have any issues with the pathetic Pirates' offense, either, which ranks above only the Marlins and White Sox in OPS. It'll be a quick and low-scoring first five.
