Baseball Reference
Things to look for in this game
Mark Reynolds has three times as many at-bats against Verlander than any other Rockie, and has fared well against the Tigers' ace. Reynolds hits him at a .286 clip (6-for-21) with a home run and two RBIs.
Justin Upton is the only active Tiger with a hit against Bettis. He's 2-for-8 with a homer and three RBIs.
Verlander has gone at least six innings in his last eight starts going back to July 19, with 64 strikeouts in 56 innings.
Twenty-eight of those have come on his signature high-spin four-seamer,
the fourth-most strikeouts on four-seamers by any pitcher in that timespan. Those 28 fastballs have averaged an elite 2,568 rpm spin rate.
Ian Kinsler will get the day off and Miguel Cabrera will miss a second start after experiencing lower back tightness as the Detroit Tigers wrap up at three-game series against the Colorado Rockies.
Mikie Mahtook will move up to the lead-off spot, while Dixon Machado will bat second and play second base.
