It's very difficult to beat a team twice in a double header and considering the Tigers are already down 8-0 in the first I"m going to say it's a loss. Verlander knows he has to step up big time because the Tigers really do not want to be swept. Also he has to step up considering the bullpen is going to be hanging for game #2. I just think the Rangers will have a let down in game #2 especially the way they've been hitting. Facing Verlander in game 2 of a double header is no easy task after you played a 3 hour game. Verlander has a 2.50 ERA over the last 3 years while compiling a 32-8 record at home. Tigers are 41-12 in his last 53 home starts and over his last 4 he has a 2.33 ERA vs. the Rangers. Rangers have 147 AB with a .211 avg and .579 OPS. Feliz goes for the Rangers and posts a 4.70 ERA in relief during 8 games last year as the Tigers have a .303 and .899 OPS in a very limited 33 at bats. Still the Tigers vs. RHP at home are scoring 7.72 runs per 9. Verlander will only need a couple.
