Fantasy Impact
Verlander, now 3-3 on the season, was all over the place in this one, striking out seven but walking five. He also gave up a pair of solo bombs en route to the loss. The veteran hurler hasn't been as sharp as we've come to expect of him but he is still racking up strikeouts, now with 49 in 48 1/3 innings. He takes his 4.47 ERA and 1.43 WHIP into a road start against the Astros.
