Paul Skenes odds, props, and picks. Breaking down Paul Skenes' season-long MLB props ahead of his Major League debut.
Paul Skenes is set to make his highly-anticipated MLB debut on Saturday against the Chicago Cubs and sportsbooks are looking to cash in on the hype. Join me as I break down Skenes' season-long prop odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.The Pittsburgh Pirates are finally giving baseball fans what they want, as they've called up No. 1 overall pick Paul Skenes for Saturday's game vs. the Chicago Cubs.
They kept heavy tabs on him in AAA — and rightfully so — as he did not exceed 75 pitches in any of his seven starts. Despite the short leash, Skenes was able to amass 45 Ks in 27 1-3 innings. While his 14.9 SO/IP will dip a bit once he faces Major League-caliber hitters, there's no reason to believe Skenes will struggle to get punchouts.
If we are being highly conservative, Skenes projects 110 strikeouts over 19 starts if all goes according to plan. With the number sitting at 109.5 and juiced evenly, I will choose to believe the Pirates can, in fact, have nice things, and that Skenes will dominate at the Major League level. The bullpen will play a big role in determining this bet, and the Pirates sit mid-pack in terms of bullpen metrics. Another factor to consider is if Skenes will get any run support.
