Verlander is still very good. Top 3 when on his game. Detroit got shut down pretty hard as well but they managed a run so they win.
We move on to game 2. Why would I be pissed off? I don't let my feelings get wrapped up in these games as they mean 0 to me unless I am betting on them. Sure I like it when my team wins but when they lose they lose. I can't control any of that. Whoever wins wins. It doesn't effect me either way.
Scherzer and Verlander very good and can be a tough matchup but they aren't unbeatable and last I checked you have to win 4 games to win a series. Right?
Detroit has a better heart of the order and I would take their front 4 starters over Bostons. But as a full staff and full lineup from 1-9 Boston is better and we will see which works better for who in the race to win 4 games.
