Stephen Strasburg
RHP
4-3, 3.32 ERA, 82 SO
Strasburg has been locked in since April 16, striking out 62 batters while issuing nine walks and holding hitters to a .189 batting average. He is 1-0 with a 2.84 ERA in a pair of starts against New York this year.
Steven Matz
LHP
3-3, 3.96 ERA, 38 SO
Matz's pitch count was up in his return from the IL, which forced him out after 3 2/3 innings last Saturday in Miami. Most encouraging was he didn't feel discomfort while throwing his curve, a pitch that possibly irritates the nerve in his forearm.

Lyles is coming off his best start with the Pirates -- seven innings, one run, five hits, one walk and a career-high 12 strikeouts on Friday at San Diego. He’s pitching up in the zone with his fastball, making his curve and other offspeed stuff more effective.
