Paul Skenes Dominates, Leads Two-Start Pitchers in Cy Young Bid

Pittsburgh Pirates phenom Paul Skenes is scheduled for two home starts at PNC Park against the Cubs and Athletics during the week of September 15. The 23-year-old right-hander has been an "absolute stud," maintaining an outstanding 1.92 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, and a 203/39 K/BB ratio over 178 innings through his first 30 starts, despite an underwhelming 10-9 record. Skenes is considered the top overall pitching option for the week, as he continues to strengthen his National League Cy Young award resume with his consistent dominance.
