Paul Skenes and the Pittsburgh Pirates host the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
The Pirates saw their five-game winning streak come to an end with a 5-0 loss to the Padres last night, but Skenes on the mound gives them a good chance to bounce back tonight.<\/p>\n
San Diego has now won three straight, though, and four of five since starting the season 1-4.<\/p>\n
Here are the odds, probable pitchers, and predictions for Padres vs. Pirates on Tuesday, April 7.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s batting .308 (12 for 39) through 10 games with a .973 OPS. However, that high slugging percentage is due to his four home runs, and he doesn\u2019t have any other extra-base hits.<\/p>\n Eight of Cruz\u2019s 12 hits have been singles, and he\u2019s hit a single in six straight games. I considered simply taking Cruz to get a hit at -163, but I\u2019ll shoot my shot with a single at this +148 price.<\/p>\n Padres vs. Pirates Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n Pivetta and Skenes both settled in a bit in their last starts after poor performances to open the season, but I think this total is a bit too low tonight in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n Skenes still isn\u2019t fully stretched out, and Pivetta is susceptible to losing control and giving up crooked numbers.<\/p>\n Both teams are capable of putting up at least a few runs, so I\u2019ll go with the OVER tonight in what may appear to be a pitcher\u2019s duel.<\/p>\n Pick: OVER 6.5 (-112)<\/p>\n Claim the latest DraftKings promo code<\/a> offer today.
