2 years agoHouston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander has been one of baseball's best performers through the first five weeks of the season. In six games, Verlander has pitched to a 4-1 record with a 1.55 ERA, 0.64 WHIP, and 36 strikeouts in 40 2/3 innings. He has a five-game quality starts streak and has not allowed more than three runs in any start this year. With just six innings total in the 2020 and 2021 seasons combined, Verlander's value was somewhat depressed at draft time, but he should be leaping up rankings after his dominance to start the year.--Doug Goldring - RotoBaller
