# Baseball Probable Pitchers
This app pulls in a day's probable pitchers from the MLB.com website and returns the data as a JSON object.
## Usage
1. Clone this repo
2. In the repo directory, `npm install`
3. Specify an output file in `index.js`, or leave it at the default `probable-pitchers.json`
4. Specify a day, or leave it as-is for today
5. Run `npm start`
## Returned JSON example
The app will return probable pitchers in the following format:
```json
{"matchups":[
{"teamAway":"Nationals",
"teamHome":"Mets",
"time":"Sun, Mar 24 • 12:10 PM EDT",
"pitcherAway":"Joe Ross",
"pitcherHome":"TBD"},
{"teamAway":"Yankees",
"teamHome":"Twins",
"time":"Sun, Mar 24 • 1:05 PM EDT",
"pitcherAway":"James Paxton",
"pitcherHome":"Martin Perez"},],
"teamPitchers":{
"WSH":"Patrick Corbin",
"NYM":"TBD",
"NYY":"James Paxton",
"MIN":"Martin Perez",
"MIA":"Zac Gallen",
"STL":"Jack Flaherty",
"BAL":"Andrew Cashner"}
```
You can traverse the `matchups` object to see individual game info or the `teamPitchers` object if you just want to look up a pitcher by team 3-letter abbreviation.
By default this app writes this data to an output file but you can consume how you wish.
