Drafters MLB Pick'em: Paul Skenes Over 6.5 Pitcher Strikeouts
For the last time in 2025, Paul Skenes will toe the rubber for the Pittsburgh Pirates, and he’ll look to try and tie the knot for his Cy Young winning season. He faces a Reds team that is vying for a playoff spot, but that has struggled against righties in September. Since September 1st, the Reds have a robust 25% K-rate against righty hurlers, which is seventh in baseball. He’s gone over this mark in four of his last six starts. Skenes and his 29.4% K-rate this year should fly over this number.

Drafters MLB Pick'em: Alec Burleson Over 1.5 Hits+Runs+RBIs
Since coming off the injured list, Alec Burleson has absolutely raked. He’s riding an eight-game hitting streak and has hits in 10 of 11 overall. He has five multi-hit games over his last seven while scoring four runs and driving in four more over that span. He faces a mosh posh of Giants pitchers here, and the first one on the mound is J.T. Brubaker. Yes, J.T. Brubaker. He’s not very good. Burleson is. Against right-handed pitching this year, Burleson has a .186 ISO, .222 xISO, .364 wOBA, and .368 xwOBA.
