Matchup Preview

Justin Verlander has been very good all things considered this season, whether it was in New York or now back in Houston. Verlander has an 11-8 record, a 3.39 ERA, and a 1.16 WHIP. Verlander is 5-3 so far in Houston with a 3.86 ERA through 49 innings. He also has a K/9 rate of 8.3.

In his last start, Verlander pitched seven innings and gave up five runs on eight hits with zero walks and seven strikeouts in a loss. He should get over this number, even against a good offense like the Orioles.

Pick: Justin Verlander Over 5.5 Strikeouts (-140 PointsBet)
