Chicago Cubs at Pittsburgh Pirates by Tony T.

Game Summary

Chicago starts Colin Rea, who has made 11 appearances and eight starts with a 4.83 ERA and 1.37 WHIP. Rea's best trait has been his 47.3% ground ball rate, though the 1.3 HR/9 keeps power contact in play.

Pittsburgh counters with Paul Skenes, who has a 3.00 ERA, elite 0.82 WHIP, 28.0% strikeout rate, and only a 3.9% walk rate. Skenes owns one of the cleaner command-and-power profiles on the slate.
