Paul Skenes is starting for the Pirates in this game and he is 6-1 with a 1.99 ERA this season. He has been great all season and has been pitching very well in his recent starts, allowing just 2 earned runs or less in each of his last 9 starts. River Ryan is starting for the Dodgers in this game and he is 1-0 with a 1.72 ERA this season. He has only had 3 starts this season as he is just a rookie, but he has been great so far, allowing 2 earned runs or less in each of his last 3 starts and only allowing 3 earned runs total in a little over 15 innings pitched. Both of these starters have been great in their rookie seasons this year and both are going to be pushing to outperform each other here so this is going to be a lower scoring game that stays under the total.
