WS6: Nationals at Astros, 8 PM ET
Stephen Strasburg / Justin Verlander
Richard Justice, mlb.com:
There's no one the Astros trust more than Verlander. Forget that his World Series numbers aren't dazzling (0-5, 5.73 ERA in six starts). ...
About the only thing he has never done is record a win in a World Series Game, and given that pitcher wins are partly a function of time and place, that's more a trivia answer than anything else.That's interesting. ... The "trivia answer" factor didn't enter into the equation when so many sportswriters were gleefully shitting on David Price.
Verlander has allowed four earned runs in three of his last four postseason starts. Strasburg has a 1.34 career postseason ERA.
