Pittsburgh has won five straight games heading into Monday's series opener against the Padres and will send Paul Skenes to the mound for Game 2 in what hopes to be a bounce-back effort after getting pulled in the first inning against the Mets on Opening Day. I'm not expecting a second straight bad outing for Skenes.
