The set-up: This series features a couple of lop-sided mismatches on the mound and there's no doubt that this is one of them. The visitors hand the ball to Eric Skoglund, while the home side sends Jameson Taillon to the hill. I think Taillon is well worth the price in this spot.

The pitchers: Skoglund is so far 1-5 with a 6.19 ERA. He's been more effective of late, but he's been terrible on the road all year, coming in with an 0-2, 7.15 ERA to this point.

Taillon is so far 13-9 with a 3.37 ERA. He most recently gave up two runs off four hits while striking out four over seven innings in a victory over St. louis on Wednesday. It was his fourth straight victory.

The pick: Note that over his last four trips to the hill Taillon has posted a tiny 2.16 ERA and elite 25:3 K/BB in that span. The massive talent-gap on the mound today makes this a price that I have no issues at all in laying. Play on Pittsburgh.
