Fantasy Impact:
Skenes, with a 1.96 ERA over 23 starts last year, takes the mound Opening Day for Pittsburgh, despite a 3.60 ERA and 12 strikeouts in 10 spring innings. Facing a weak Marlins lineup, he’s poised for a strong kickoff. Fantasy managers can lock him in as an elite arm with ace potential.
