View More NewsJustin Verlander dominates Tigers, Astros cruise to 9-3 win
Justin Verlander delivered a masterful performance, tossing seven scoreless innings while allowing just two hits and two walks, striking out eight in the Astros' 9-3 victory over the Tigers.
Fantasy Impact
This outing was a significant rebound for Verlander, who has had a mixed start to the season with a 3.38 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP over his first five starts. His dominance in this game, characterized by his high strikeout count and minimal hits allowed, should reassure fantasy managers about his potential moving forward. Despite a somewhat elevated FIP and a lower-than-expected strikeout rate this season, performances like this highlight his ability to control games and accumulate fantasy points through strikeouts and wins. His improved command shown by a solid outing could be a sign of returning to form, making him a strong hold in fantasy leagues.
