Each game of this National League Championship Series, we’re going to take a microlevel look at an intriguing matchup of the day.
Today’s matchup:
Joe Musgrove is very good. When discussing the top pitchers in the game, Musgrove is almost never mentioned, though maybe he should be. It could be a bit of recency bias, his last few starts lingering on our minds as opposed to a season’s worth of work, but going back to see how he has fared, well, the numbers are quite good.
