Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Pirates fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
This past week’s question asked you about Paul Skenes. His numbers, including velocity, are down this year, and the Pittsburgh Pirates have lost seven straight starts when he pitches. Almost unheard of for a top ace. So we asked you all if you thought Skenes has slipped. Here’s
what you said:
A full 61 percent of Pirates fans think Skenes has slipped this season, and it’s hard to argue with that. A losing record, an ERA closer to 3 than to 2, and the team can’t seem to win when he’s on the mound.
Don’t forget to pay a visit to our SB Nation Reacts sponsor, as FanDuel has the full odds for the remainder of the MLB season. The Bucs are currently +235 to make the playoffs, meaning a $100 bet would more than double your money, with a $235 profit in return. You can also bet on the Pirates missing the playoffs, but your payout is gonna be less for sure at -330.
Thanks for voting! We have another Reacts coming this week!
