McLean a solid play on shallow-pool Thursday

Today's Overview/Schedule/Weather: Thursday's slate includes 10 games. Four of those contests (TEX@TAM, KC@MIN, NYY@CHW, CHC@STL) have daytime starts. That Yankees-White Sox affair at Rate Field wraps up a four-game series, but the getaway part of getaway day is different for New York: the Yanks will visit the crosstown Cubs at Wrigley Field Friday-Sunday. Weather-wise, the KC@COL contest in Denver could be impacted by rain.


Notable Starts:

Nolan McLean has notched a 1.20 ERA over his last 30 IP. On Thursday, he's lined up for a Citi Field turn against a Miami Marlins nine that owns a .645 OPS since July 10. Since May 31, McLean has made 10 starts; he has held opponents to 2 ER or less in nine of those.
