From Last Night:

• Clete Thomas goes 4-4 as the Twins beat the Phils
• Miller K’s 10 but gives up 4 as the Cards fall to the Mets
• The Pirates outslug the Giants 12-8
• Frazier homers to lift Leake over Wood and the Cubs
• The Angels beat the O’s despite an 0-5 from Trout

What I’m Watching Today:

• WAINWRIGHT AND HARVEY. WAINWRIGHT AND HARVEY (1p Eastern)
• Guys, Wainwright and Harvey!
• Latos versus Sharky (1p Eastern)
• Darvish faces the Jays again (8p Eastern)
• Cliff Lee heads to Minnesota (8p Eastern)

The Big Question:

• Is Wainwright and Harvey a Cy Young battle?

That’s a bit of a misnomer, but it’s easily one of the top duels we’ve seen so far this season even if it won’t actually determine who wins the Cy Young. But it should inform who gets to start the All-Star Game. Verlander and Darvish was close as far as how each pitcher had performed up to that point, but not quite. Let’s look at the big one tomorrow:

Wainwright: 9-3, 93 IP, 2.34 ERA, 1.75 FIP, 3.8 WAR

Harvey: 5-0, 90 IP, 2.10 ERA, 2.20 FIP, 3.0 WAR

The two starters are 26th and 9th in K/9, 1st and 22nd in BB/9, 8th and 5th in ERA, 1st and 3rd in FIP, 2nd and 6th in xFIP, and 1st and 4th in WAR in MLB. So yeah, that’s pretty good. Watch it.
