The San Francisco Giants begin a three-game series against the Texas Rangers tonight at Oracle Park.
This game will only be broadcast on Apple TV+, which is great. Really. Love to have to pay for 11 streaming services to watch my local baseball squadron. It’s not at all my villain origin story.
Anyway, Justin Verlander will be getting the start for the Giants, and enters tonight’s game with a 5.47 ERA, 4.61 FIP, with 23 strikeouts to 11 walks in 24.2 innings over five starts. His last start was his best of the year so far, allowing just one run on two hits with six strikeouts and two walks in six innings.
