DAILY MATCHUPS: Scherzer for Cy

As a way to preview the day's games, the 2013 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:  There are three interleague games on the schedule today:  a battle of first-place teams (BOS @ LA), a dynamite pitching matchup (DET @ NYM, Scherzer v. Harvey), and a game with slight playoff implications (WAS @ KC).  The best non-interleague games include ATL @ STL, NYY @ TB, and OAK @ BAL.

 

Best SP choices:

  • Max Scherzer (RHP, DET) gets the highest rating from our report, not exactly an unusual occurrence this year. ...

Almost!
