Paul Skenes is coming

[Tron]

I just learned that Skenes wears a suit to the ballpark on the days that he's starting. I think that's friggin awesome. Good for him.

Yes it will, damn near as much as the Cubs win total staying under for me.

Some people tend to favor the everyday player over a pitcher for this award. I believe that it's up to the Pirates. If they shut Skenes down early on the season because they have nothing to play for, he might fade from the race. Merrill is a stud for a playoff contender so he has a shot to get more attention down the stretch. My opinion is that you can't find a more dominant performer than what Skenes has done every fifth day since they brought him up.

Merrill is -320, Skenes is +240 now.

Merrill has a 4.0 WAR

That’s higher than Mookie Betts

The Pirates blowing his win today doesn’t help the cause. Anyone have the Cubs +8500 live?

That may be higher than the white sox team.

Gave up 6 hits to the Marlins, too. And an earned run. The Marlins are trotting out a AA team right now.
