Jul 2 RHP Justin Verlander is probable to be selected to the American League All-Star team Sunday but has hit a speed bump after turning in nine superlative starts in a row. Verlander (8-4, 3.54 ERA) is 1-2 with a 5.48 ERA in his last four starts. Yahoo! Sports


Jul 2 Verlander picked up his fourth loss of the season Wednesday, falling 5-1 to the Athletics. He gave up four runs -- all earned -- in six innings while striking out six and walking one.

Recommendation: After a 10-game unbeaten stretch, Verlander has lost two of his last four starts. He pitched well on Wednesday, but was doomed by two long balls which accounted for all four of his earned runs. His next start will come at home, where he's 4-0 with a 1.11 ERA, so look for a bounce-back outing.
