The Angels may have Detroit’s number in recent years, but Verlander pitched complete-game shutout the last time he faced Los Angeles. It’s not out of the question that it could happen today as well as Verlander has a 1.54 ERA in his last three starts with just a 0.86 WHIP. Chacin hasn’t been too impressive in his few starts this year and the Tigers won’t need many runs with Verlander on a hot streak.
