Ariel Miranda vs. Joe Musgrove, 7:10pm
Anyone want to debate the following?
You could make a pretty good case that James Paxton has been the best starter in the majors through two turns in the rotation.
Paxton’s start yesterday was masterful, a complete masterclass in using velocity and location. It needed no context; it sits on its own as a brilliant performance. But add that context back in – the home opener for a team whose season-opening road trip went about as bad as possible – and it gets even better.
