DAILY MATCHUPS: Santana soars
Aug 7 2014
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 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.
Friday's schedule overview: There is a full slate of games today, with three interleague tilts. The Cards and Giants both gain a DH @ BAL and @ KC, respectively, while Tampa Bay loses its DH @ CHC—and Rays pitchers get to face Cubs pitchers at bat instead of their normal nine hitters with the DH in AL parks. That game also features Friday’s first pitch at 4:05 PM ET in Wrigley Field.
