Milwaukee’s Jacob Misiorowski and Pittsburgh’s Paul Skenes didn’t need to throw as many as 80 pitches to set new standards for velocity on Wednesday in the first matchup between these 23-year-old flamethrowers.

They didn't pound the ball, but a pesky second inning for the Brewers put four runs on the scoreboard against Paul Skenes.

The Brewers are projected as a close favorite (-110 to win on the moneyline) against the Pirates (-109). The starting pitchers are Jacob Misiorowski (2-0) for the Milwaukee Brewers, and Paul Skenes (4-6) for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
