Game two of the 2017 World Series gets underway at 8 PM EDT Wednesday night as Justin Verlander leads Houston against the Dodgers and Rich Hill.
Verlander’s 2017 post-season is shaping up as one for the ages. He holds a 4-0 record in three starts and a relief appearance, accounting for over half the Astros post-season wins. He posted a 1.46 ERA so far, walking six, allowing one home run, and striking out 24 batters in 24 2/3 innings. Opponents are hitting just .200/.258/.294 against him. He induced three ground ball double plays.
Hill has not lasted long in his two post-season starts this year. He prevents hits with a high strikeout rate, collecting 12 K in nine innings. That, however, is balanced by four walks and two home runs allowed. Dave Roberts will not allow Hill to let the game get out of hand.
Enjoy!
