Aaron Judge is back in the lineup this afternoon. Pittsburgh is hitting .197 with a .614 OPS over their last seven days while the Yankees are hitting .238 with a .781 OPS. Paul Skenes owns a 1.37 road ERA and has only allowed two runs, or more, once in his 10 road starts. Luis Gil has only allowed three runs, or more, once in his last five home starts. This total seems low for a reason.
Paul Skenes will be the main attraction on Saturday afternoon in the Bronx, after lasting just five innings and 73 pitches last time out, despite striking out nine. Manager Derek Shelton confirmed they capped him at five innings in that start so there is risk that something similar happens here. Even if Skenes is not held to five innings, rain still poses a threat, so there's reason to be cautious. Regardless, Skenes has some filthy stuff and can easily rack up strikeouts quickly, as we saw Jared Jones do last night, so for this price, I'll take a shot. Only half unit plays this late in the season, especially on pitcher props!
