Good morning, baseball fans!
The San Francisco Giants signed veteran pitcher Justin Verlander to a $15 million, one-year contract over the offseason. So far this season, he has had a 6.75 ERA, 4.73 FIP, and has allowed 15 runs (14 earned), 24 hits, with 17 strikeouts and nine walks over four starts.
I know that pitcher wins are not really a great metric, but it is a little bit concerning that the team has only lost five games (as of the time this is being written), and Verlander has pitched two of those losses.
In the two games he started where the Giants won, they were high-scoring affairs.
