Houston Astros: Four reasons why a Game 4 Verlander start makes sense

The Houston Astros‘ loss to the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 4 puts Houston’s postseason run at their first bump of the road. Needing one win in two games, the Houston Astros will look to get the win in Game 4 by starting Justin Verlander on three day’s rest.

Obviously, I’m disappointed with the outcome of Game 3 as with everyone here. We had a chance to clinch the series and advance to the ALCS. But instead, we got a reminder of why the Rays are a good team and why the postseason is a different breed of animal.
