DAILY MATCHUPS: Fireworks or pitchers duels for the Fourth?

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:  Everyone's in action for the Fourth of July, with five day games, and the rest under the lights. Appropriately, the schedule kicks off in Washington, with an 11:05 Eastern start. The Rangers visit the Mets in the lone interleague contest. Hurricane Arthur is not expected to impact the schedule, as its current track has it heading into the Atlantic after a possible landfall in North Carolina.
