DAILY MATCHUPS: Sunday slot no slam dunk for Verlander owners

As a way to preview the day's games, the 2014 Daily Matchups column seeks to highlight the outliers or notable matchups on BaseballHQ.com's Starting Pitcher Report (also available as an 8-day scan). For more information on how to leverage the report, see our research article from 2012.

Today’s schedule overview:  A fuller-than-normal slate is at hand, with the Mets and Diamondbacks playing two at Citi Field. MIN-at-SF is the interleague matchup, and STL-at-CIN is a river-city tilt slotted as the ESPN Sunday night game. Weather forecasts call for mostly dry conditions across the 15 ballparks hosting Sunday action.
