Skenes a top-flight option on a six-game Thursday

Today's Overview/Schedule/Weather: Its a short-slate Thursday, as the MLB schedule rolls into the final days of May with a six-game docket. The Angels and Tigers get things underway with a 1:10 p.m. ET start as one of three day games on the schedule. Weather-wise, a double-digit mph batter's breeze is in the forecast for PNC Park (CHC@PIT), and Boston (ATL@BOS) weather is calling for a 40% chance of rain. The overall pitching forecast is a sunny one, with the tumble of rotations bringing more than a few top-end options to the fore. The Thursday Matchup Ratings are high, albeit with a tight bell curve.
