Pirates vs. Tigers odds, line, prediction: 2026 MLB picks for Wednesday, Aug. 19 from proven model
SportsLine's projection model, which entered Week 22 of the MLB season on a 49-31 run, has locked in its MLB predictions for the Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Detroit Tigers on Wednesday
A matinee on the Wednesday MLB schedule will see Paul Skenes back on the mound as his Pittsburgh Pirates host the Detroit Tigers. Skenes (9-11, 3.88 ERA) had this start pushed back three days after struggling in recent outings as Pittsburgh (62-66) has split its last 10 games. Detroit will send Jackson Jobe (1-1, 6.23 ERA) to the mound as the righty makes his third start of the year. This is the rubber match after Detroit took Monday's contest, with Pittsburgh then taking Tuesday's matchup.
