If you were Jim Leyland would you?

Pitch Justin Verlander on normal rest in games 1,5 and maybe in relief for game 7 or do you pitch him on short rest in games 1,4 and game 7? I think Leyland is one of the greatest managers of all time, but there is no way that I don't try and have him pitch on short rest and get 3 starts from the games best pitcher.

Why? Their whole rotation is throwing gas right now.

[Chi_archie]

it will depend upon the record. if the tigers are up 3-0 they surely won't pitch him game 4. ect

1,4,7 and not even thinking about it! Regardless of what the series is he is pitching 1,4,7.

I would start him in 1 and 4 for sure. and then if you have a chance to close it in 5 or 6 think of bringing him in from the pen

Cash out

Between him and Sherzer, you almost guaranteed a 4-2 win on normal rest.
