Detroit Tigers vs. Houston Astros, at Comerica Park, July 30, 2017 Matchups, Tickets, Preview.
Baseball Reference
Detroit Tigers
RHP Justin Verlander (5-7, 4.50 ERA)
21 GS, 124 IP, 122 H, 62 ER, 15 HR, 57 BB, 120 K, 4.21 FIP
Verlander is 4-0 with a 2.83 ERA in eight career starts against the Astros, but his outing in Houston this past May is one he'll surely want to forget. He took a no-decision after 5 2/3 innings, allowing six runs and nine hits while walking three.
Houston Astros
RHP Lance McCullers Jr. (7-2, 3.67 ERA)
18 GS, 100 2/3 IP, 92 H, 41 ER, 6 HR, 32 BB, 114 K, 2.85 FIP
Something McCullers continues to do well, despite his recent slide, is limit hard contact when the ball is put in play. He's allowing a barrel on just 4 percent of batted ball events, according to Statcast, which ties him for seventh in MLB among pitchers with at least 190 batted ball events.
McCullers has seen the Tigers only twice in his career, and they've yet to figure him out. He threw five innings of one-hit ball in May against Detroit, and the current lineup has a combined .192 average against him.
