There has already been a battle of former Cy Young Award winners this season, but for my money, this two-game series between the Cleveland Guardians and San Diego Padres has the most narratively interesting pitching matchups of the year so far.
The first game will feature Mike Clevinger making his season debut with the Padres, and it will be his first against the team that traded him two years ago. Opposing him will be one of his clubhouse friends, Zach Plesac, who will be looking to rebound from a disastrous outing against the Angels last week.
In Game 2, the Guardians will start Cal Quantrill, the headlining pitcher of that Clevinger deal in 2020.
