A revamped Yankees lineup opens the season in Houston as CC Sabathia faces Scott Feldman. Sabathia starts 2014 after posting the highest ERA of his career. All three-true outcomes deteriorated for Milliliter in 2013, especially his home runs allowed. Sabathia gave up 28, and his previous single season high was 22. Feldman spent eight seasons with the Rangers, and returns to the Lone Star State after combining for a 3.86 ERA for the Cubs and Orioles. Scott doesn’t strike out many batters, and tries to keep his walks low to counter the extra hits allowed from lack of Ks.

The Blue Jays and Rays continue their series with a match-up between young pitchers as Drew Hutchinson takes on Alex Cobb. Hutchinson made just 11 starts in 2013, but starts 2014 as the number two starter on the Blue Jays. His problem as a rookie was the home run ball, as he gave up eight dingers in 58 2/3 innings. His minor league numbers look great, however, and he only allowed nine homers in 270 MiLB innings. Cobb came into his own in his third season last year, posting a 2.76 ERA as he raised his strikeout rate.

Matt Cain tries to keep the Diamondbacks winless as the Giants face Wade Miley. Cain saw a drop in his strikeout rate and an increase in his home run rate in 2013 that led to his ERA reaching 4.00 for the first time since 2006. Miley was a victim of bad timing in Australia, as he struck out eight in five, innings, allowing just three hits. Two of those were a double and home run, both with men on base, and that cost him three runs.

Enjoy!
