DAILY MATCHUPS: Kershaw and Arrieta rule the day

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 HQ Pitcher Matchups tool (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: There is a full slate of games today, with four day games. The sole interleague contest has Arizona visiting Minnesota. With most playoff spots decided, pitchers may face lineups with more than the usual number of new faces, as teams who have clinched playoff spots give their regulars some rest and those who are out of the hunt look toward next season.
