Pittsburgh Pirates
The Pirates have had a disappointing season, missing the playoffs for the 10th season in a row after selling at the deadline. Despite this, Paul Skenes has been a standout performer, allowing only 30 runs in 133 innings pitched and recording 146 strikeouts. With impressive stats such as a .310 expected opponent Slugging Percentage, a 4.8 Barrel Percentage, and a 2.46 expected ERA, opponents are finding it difficult to score against him. However, the rest of the lineup has struggled, with only Tommy Pham and Oneil Cruz posting decent numbers. The team's overall lack of offensive production has resulted in a league-worst 3.39 runs per game, making it easy for opposing pitchers to dominate.
