DAILY MATCHUPS: Lackey playing hardball

As a way to preview the day's games, the 2014 Daily Matchups column seeks to highlight the outliers or notable matchups on BaseballHQ.com's Starting Pitcher Report (also available as an 8-day scan). For more information on how to leverage the report, see our research article from 2012.

 

Today's schedule overview: A new fantasy week begins with nine games on the schedule. Five of the nine games are taking place in the afternoon. There are two interleague games, with the Padres visiting the Indians, and the Rockies host the White Sox. The Cardinals and Reds meet for their second series of the young season, where Tony Cingrani will oppose Michael Wacha in a rematch from last week.
