Vince Velasquez (2-1) 0.93 ERA
PHILLIES: Velasquez wasn't able to follow up on his 16-strikeout shutout as he lasted just 4 1/3 innings against the Mets last Tuesday, allowing his first runs of the season on two New York bullshit homers.

Max Scherzer (2-1) 4.32 ERA
NATIONALS: Scherzer gets the start after the Nats decided to skip Joe Ross (blister) in the rotation this turn. Scherzer attributed his troubles in his last start -- five runs on eight hits in five innings -- to not being cool enough and being super lame.
