Pirates vs. Reds, Royals vs. Rockies picks, odds: MLB predictions, best bets Friday

Paul Skenes battles the Reds on Friday. Thanks to all concerned about my well-being after my teams choked on their leads and blew back-to-back games in the final inning. No wellness check needed, but I did reach for the antidepressants after Korean boy band BTS decided to boycott the Grammys. Two games. That’s right. Two bets. Because how many times can the Titanic hit the iceberg? The Pirates visit the Reds. Play $100 on Paul Skenes and the Buccos (-130, BetMGM). And $50 on Michael Wacha and the Royals (-110, BetMGM), who play in Colorado. Michael Wacha starts at Coors Field on Friday. AP And that makes three straight walk-off losses! Ryan Weathers and Sean Burke left the game scoreless. The game went to extra innings scoreless. Yanks scored a run. The White Sox sent it to the 11th inning
