Personally might zag a bit the other way as far as Matthew's opinion on Bedard's cutter...
Hadn't noticed much of a cutter effect to Erikkk's game and, sho' nuff, here is a chart on the horizontal movement of Bedard's pitches...
"Both" of Bedard's fastballs have a lot of armside fade... F/X at times will create a differentiation between "two pitches" which are in reality just variations of the one pitch...  
the light blue pitch in that graph, the FC that does have cutting action, is the one that Bedard almost never throws (6%).   The green and navy lines on the chart, the 26%/23% fastballs, don't have much differentiation in armside run.
Key to Bedard in my view may lie elsewhere... 
But the broad point, that the staff is Grand Cutter Central, no doo'ts there :- )
