It's official: Justin Verlander will be on the mound when the Astros begin their playoff...
Astros ace Justin Verlander will start Game 1 of the American League Division Series on Tuesday, manager Dusty Baker said Saturday.
Verlander won the major league ERA title with a 1.75 mark — the lowest by any American League starter in a 162-game season since Pedro Martinez in 2000. The 39-year-old righthander is a heavy favorite to win the third Cy Young Award of his career. Verlander will face the winner of a best-of-3 wild card series between the Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays. The Mariners took a 1-0 lead into Saturday's Game 2 in Toronto.
Verlander made six regular-season starts against Seattle — his most against any opponent this season. The Mariners mustered 11 earned runs and struck six home runs in the 42 ⅓ innings Verlander threw.
