 Through 20 starts this season, Justin Verlander has a 0.81 WHIP and a .169 opponent batting average. The last two pitchers to have a sub-0.85 WHIP and a sub-.170 opponent batting average through 20 starts in a season were Pedro Martinez in 2000 and Luis Tiant in 1968.

 Mike Minor allowed four earned runs in 5.0 innings when these teams faced off last Saturday. Minor allowed three base-hits with runners in scoring position in that start -- in his six prior starts, Minor limited opponents to two combined hits with RISP in 41.1 IP.
