DAILY MATCHUPS: Hernandez debuts in new-look Safeco Field

As a way to preview the day's games, in 2013 Daily Matchups 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:  Just under half the league has the day off today, with only eight games on the schedule. Two of those are scheduled for the afternoon (Blue Jays/Tigers and Giants/Cubs). There are thunderstorms expected in Detroit and Cleveland, which could impact those games, especially with it being a getaway day. The interleague series between the White Sox and Nationals concludes today.
