Robbie Ray vs. Justin Verlander, 5:10pm
A fun pitching match-up tonight between the ageless Justin Verlander, who’ll certainly rack up Cy Young votes this year, and the reining Cy Young winner, Robbie Ray. Ray’s velocity has been quite volatile recently, sitting over 95 just before the break, then dropping to under 93 in his last start. I’m kind of curious to see what it’s like today, particularly given his struggles against Houston. Verlander’s velo dipped noticeably back in 2014, but then he figured out how to get it back above 95, even after losing so much time to TJ surgery in his late-30s.
