Verlander wins the prize for most OD starts among this year's crop.

Clayton Kershaw will not make what would have been not just his 9th but his 9th consecutive and all with the same team.

Julio Teheran has the longest single-team streak going.









P.S. One thing this new software apparently does for us is NOT put in an empty line at the top of the post each time you hit the carriage return following a line of code ... so that's a nice upgrade

Verlander is within reach of some pretty royal company. He's going to need a better nickname than "JV," which just makes him sound like a minor leaguer, but from here on, he's breathing some pretty royal air.
