FanDuel. Love this spot for Joe Ryan tonight. He’s been dominant at home, pitching to a 2.86 ERA and a 33.9% K%. Always excelling against righties (38% K% at home), he’ll see six of them in the Pirates lineup tonight. The Pirates have been brutal against righties on the road, with a 29% K% and .508 OPS dating back to June 1st (440+ plate appearances).

The Pirates are one of the worst offenses in baseball and have the second-highest strikeout rate against right-handers. Ryan has 116 strikeouts in 104 1/3 innings this season. A six-inning outing will provide seven or eight strikeouts here.

The Twins have never seen Paul Skenes before and are a high-volume strikeout team against righties. This shouldn't be an issue at all.

The Pirates have lost six straight on the road immediately after they won six straight at home. They end their road trip this weekend in Minnesota for three games before the All-Star Game. Minnesota has won five of its last eight. We’ve got a great pitching matchup with Paul Skenes and Joe Ryan. Skenes has stayed under his last three starts, and in his last two starts, he didn't allow a run. The Twins have lost Joe Ryan's last two starts, even though he only allowed three earned runs combined. Don't expect a lot of runs, just the under.
