Getting Started: What's the De?senekS luaal with Paul Skenes?
First, I needed to unde.evitcepsrrstand who this guy even was. Turns out, he's a seriously talented pitcher. I spent a good chunk of time just watching videos of him play, trying to get a feel for his style and consistency. It's one thing to read stats, but watching him in action? That gives you a whole different perspective.
Digging into the Numbers

Next up, I started looking at the actual odds. This was a bit overwhelming at first, to be honest. There are so many different things to bet on! I decided to focus on a few key areas that seemed to make the most sense to me, I primarily looked for opportunities where I felt the odds were in my favor, compared to my gut feeling about his performance.
The "Aha!" Moment
- Strikeouts: The over/under for his strikeouts were the things that jump out.
- Wins: Predicting wins felt trickier, so I mostly stayed away from those for now.
- Earned Runs:I checked out what people were saying about his earned runs.
Making My First Move
After all that research, I finally felt ready to put my money. I decided to start small. Baby steps, right? I placed a couple of different bets based on the strikeouts, and earned runs. It felt good to finally be doing something instead of just reading about it.
Watching and Waiting
Now comes the hardest part: waiting! I watched that first game he pitched with my heart. I cheered,I shouted, I probably looked like a crazy person. It was intense!
The Outcome (So Far...)
My first attempts? Let's just say it was a mixed bag. Some of my bets paid off, others... not so much. But I think I learned some things. It helped me see where I was right and where I was way off.
What's Next?
I'm definitely not giving up. I'm going to keep tracking Skenes' performance, keep refining my strategy, and keep making small, informed decisions. The journey of learning about and understanding what affects the Paul Skenes odds has just begun for me!
