DAILY MATCHUPS: The King comes to Houston

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:  Monday brings an almost-full slate of 13 games, meaning that only four teams are off. Some of the early-season's best teams are facing off:  the A's visit Boston, while the Braves are in Colorado.  For some reason, the schedule-makers decided that it was a good idea to have the Marlins visit Minnesota in April.  Twins-Marlins is the lone interleague matchup of the day.
