Paul Skenes is bringing the heat to the professional mound. Sammy P spoke to a bookmaker to see how the red-hot pitcher's start has shifted the betting market.
Just one calendar year after dominating the college baseball landscape with a 13-2 record, 1.69 ERA and 209 strikeouts over 120 innings of work at LSU, right-handed fireballer Paul Skenes is already raising eyebrows in the show. Skenes made his debut at a sold-out PNC Park crowd two Saturdays ago and dazzled the crowd of 34,924 fans with seven strikeouts, 102 mile-per-hour fastballs, a splitter that touched 96 and a changeup near 90. The 21-year-old Pittsburgh Pirates phenom has arrived.
Then the Pirates went ahead and extended him to 100 pitches in his second start. 'You can’t make it 6.5 anymore. You can’t make the juice high enough to keep it 6.5, so you go to 7.5. It’s something they’ll have to monitor because these Skenes Day K props are going to have major handle. I would personally use 8.5 to the Under and let them bet it with 8 working for me. 'Forget about the 6.5s, though. Bye bye.' RELATED: Paul Skenes is as good as advertised.
