That also means there's a foundation of what could be a great Cy Young case already in place, but there's also plenty of time for things to change, whether it's someone who doesn't appear to be a factor getting hot (Jake Arrieta's 2015 run of insanity started on June 21) or someone who looks to be in the race either falling apart or suffering an injury.

Tarik Skubal and Paul Skenes ended up not facing off, but Pirates fans still came away with a brutal lesson about the future after taking on the Tigers ace.
