This is a fascinating matchup on Tuesday as the two-time defending champion Dodgers face Pirates ace Paul Skenes in Pittsburgh. The Dodgers aren’t often underdogs, especially against a team like the Pirates, but this one figures to be one where they are.
Eric Lauer gets the call for LA, and he is all of 2-5 with a 5.74 ERA. Skenes will be tested by the Dodgers hitters, but Pittsburgh should be able to reach Lauer. If Skenes is on his game, this feels like a perfect spot in MLB Lines BetUS to go with the home team against the force that is the reigning World Series champs.
