Some people accuse me of letting Justin Verlander live in my head rent-free, to which I can only reply: guilty as charged. I’d say this is the only time the Mariners will have to face JV this season, but lord knows he’ll end up in Houston by August because the fates have nothing if not a sense of humor. What do you need previewed about him at this point? His plan against Seattle is to get M’s bats chasing fastballs up out of the zone, then steal breaking balls for called strikes in the zone. If they lay off the high heaters, they’re in business; if not, we’ll be at the bar by 3:00.
