Pirates are 4 GB of the wild-card at present. I think most of us doubt they're contenders in August, but let's not ignore the fact that Skenes is selling tickets at PNC which is something that hasn't happened in ages.
Look for Skenes to get 150 IP and win ROY. Anything less than that will be an insult to him and a black-eye on an already damaged organization.

With the loss of Jones for a while and maybe Falter, think they are pretenders right now. Love to see Buctober baseball but also hoping they don't feel the pressure to trade the young pitching prospects just to satisfy the fans wanting a big trade. We know what happened the last time they did that.
