00:09Historic day. Vecchio in major

00:11league baseball. Anytime Paul

00:13Skeens gets a start. It is

00:16Skeens Day number 13 in the

00:19history of MLB tonight in

00:21Houston. We have looked at the

00:21odds. The Buccos are a road

00:22favorite now to Skeens himself.

00:27What continues to baffle me a

00:29little bit is the number. The

00:31over has plus money. He is

00:34recorded at least eight

00:36strikeouts in eight of his

00:39prior nine starts. So how do

00:40you approach Paul Skeens in

00:41that strikeout prop? It's been

00:44tough with him because the

00:45numbers are super high.

00:46Sometimes they're juiced.

00:47Unlike today, we actually plus

00:48money on the over the Astros

00:50are actually really

00:51disciplined at the plate versus

00:52righties. So that is taking to

00:54account. So my take for this is

00:55I've said this before for many

00:58players, whether it's Luca,

00:59whether it's a tentacle,

01:00whoever it is, I don't take

01:01unders on some of those players.

01:02Sometimes you either take the

01:03over or you stay away. And I

01:04think that is where Skeens is

01:05really approaching where it's

01:06like he could put up 10

01:07strikeouts in six innings. I'm

01:09not going to take the under on

01:10Paul Skeens, but I don't

01:11necessarily love the matchup in

01:13order to lay money on the over.

01:14So sometimes it's just a stay

01:15away. And I think that's what we

01:16have today.
