Thank you for sharing. Big gymnastics fan, eh Ryan?
Good choice, but her balance beam and uneven bars need work. Favorite athlete?
I’m sticking with “Butterbean” Eric Esch.
Dunne’s boyfriend Paul Skenes takes his turn on the mound Tuesday night in Pittsburgh.
Skenes charmed the Snakes, blanking Arizona for 6 ²/₃ innings, and has allowed just five runs over his past 32 ²/₃ — and no homers.
The Astros’ Lance McCullers Jr. is back after missing all of 2023 and 2024.
McCullers has made five starts this season, hasn’t won yet and has given up 12 runs and 20 hits over 18 ¹/₃.

Lance fanned 12 Athletics in just six innings in his most recent start.
We will play Skenes and the Pirates for $50 (-152, BetRivers).
The hottest team in baseball?
The Brewers.
Stretched their winning streak to eight by edging the Reds, 3-2.
Loss has us at -225 sparkyandersons.
The one and only Stitches has been handicapping baseball, daily, for the Post since 2019. Miraculously, he has finished in the black twice. But wait there’s more. He showed his versatility by winning the Post’s NFL Best Bet crown last year.
