Yes, Tigers ace Justin Verlander is coming off a miserable start, and if you look at the PitchFX data, his average fastball velocity for this season is about two miles per hour lower than it was last season -- a significant drop by any standard.

“Most likely to be the first starting pitcher off the board, I expect some continued regression from Verlander.
