DAILY MATCHUPS: Niese a nice option?

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: Friday's games get underway at 2:10 PM ET between the Indians and White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field. All other teams will be playing under the lights. The only interleague series this weekend has Seattle losing the DH as they travel to St. Louis to face the Cardinals. An NL West showdown between Clayton Kershaw (LHP, LA) and Madison Bumgarner (LHP, SF) provides the best pitching matchup of the day.
