Interesting. Shows how much respect the books have for Verlander, but how little they regard the other Tiger starters. They're a home dog in the opener with their ace on the mound, yet they're favored to win the series with guys like Lewis (Detroit has owned him in the past), Harrison (same) and Holland on the bump?
It'll be interesting too to see what they do with Ogando, given his success vs. Detroit this year as a starter.
