It was another incredible season for future Hall-of-Fame hurler Justin Verlander, made all the more incredible by the fact that this is his age-39 season and he hadn't pitched for the bulk of two years due to Tommy John surgery.
The right-hander pitched to an MLB-leading 1.75 ERA with a 0.83 WHIP while striking out 185 batters in 175 innings of work. And he limited opponents to one earned run or fewer 19 times in his 28 starts. Six of those starts came against the Mariners. And boy, did they hate seeing Verlander for the most part. Outside of one bad first inning against the M’s back in May, the veteran has been extremely effective in silencing the Seattle lineup.
Verlander posted a 2.34 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP while striking out 10.9 batters per nine innings, averaging over seven innings per start, and limiting the M’s to a .210 batting averageTuesday, he’ll take the mound against a Mariners team that is riding a wave of momentum, but outside of, this lineup doesn’t have a ton of pop. In the regular season, the Mariners ranked 27th in batting average and 15th in OPS when facing right-handed pitching.
The Mariners could be in for a bit of an emotional letdown after the way they advanced. Verlander and the Astros are rested and focused. On top of that, he’s a proven postseason performer. Expect JV to get his team off to a good start in this series and pitch deep into Game 1.
