The read
I'm not here to sugarcoat it—the gap between these clubs is wider than a rookie's strike zone on opening day. Skubal's got a Cy Young-caliber grip on games with that 1.99 ERA and a suffocating 0.81 WHIP, and Pittsburgh's bats are ice-cold, with no regular hitting above .262 and a whiff-heavy core. Detroit's lineup doesn't have to be world-beaters when their ace is doing the heavy lifting, and Heaney, while solid (3.33 ERA, 1.11 WHIP), just doesn't have the horses behind him. If you've got the guts to lay the run and a half, the Tigers should cover this without breaking a sweat.
