There is no shortage of mound intrigue on Wednesday’s MLB slate. Max Scherzer, Corey Kluber and Luis Severino are all scheduled to start, the latter against the Astros. He’ll face off with Dallas Keuchel in the best head-to-head matchup of the day. James Paxton will toe the rubber for the Mariners, and Alex Reyes will make his 2018 debut. You could pin Wednesday’s schedule to a wall, close your eyes, throw a dart at it, and hit a game with at least one great starting pitcher taking the ball.
The sheer volume of top-of-the-rotation pitchers in action Wednesday will invariably lead to a few others worthy of attention getting overlooked.
