DAILY MATCHUPS: Darvish against the Blue Jays

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:  A full schedule of Saturday games kicks-off in Toronto (TEX-TOR) and ends in Arizona (SF-ARI) and Los Angeles (ATL-LA).  The interleague matchup is in the nation's capital where the Twins visit the Nationals.

 

Best SP choices:

  • Yu Darvish (RHP, TEX) has lived-up to the "sub-3.00 ERA" prediction in this year's Baseball Forecaster, at least so far:  81 IP, 12.3 Dom, 2.73 ERA.  The pitch counts are perhaps something to worry...

Almost!
