2025 Fantasy Outlook
Verlander began the season on the IL with a shoulder issue. He debuted in mid-April and made 10 starts, before experiencing a neck issue. At the time, he posted a 3.95 ERA and 1.21 WHIP. However, a 4.98 xFIP, .263 BABIP and 81.6 percent left on base rate indicates he was fortunate. After spending almost 11 weeks on the IL, Verlander returned to make eight more starts with a bloated 8.10 ERA and 1.68 WHIP. Over this stretch, his xFIP was 5.42 with a .356 BABIP and 53.4 percent left on base level, demonstrating misfortune along with subpar pitching. Verlander's strikeout rate is in freefall, and while his walk rate is still below average, it's creeping up. It's tempting to expect another rebound from a guy who defied the odds after returning from Tommy John surgery when he was 39 years old. It's best to resist temptation. Read Past Outlooks
