The gods of baseball scheduling finally take their foot off Matt Koch’s throat, and present him with an opposing starter whose mantelpiece does not require structural support. Not that Koch himself has buckled under the weight of the task, having performed remarkably well against Clayton Kershaw, Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer, going 1-1 with a 2.79 ERA against three of the best pitchers in baseball. But it’ll be interesting to see what happens when he goes up against someone with less (actually, almost zero) reputation: hopefully he won’t play down to the quality of the opponent!
