Verlander looks to halt Rangers' streak.

Notable
The Texas Rangers have now won 10 in a row, the fourth-longest streak in club history and the longest since 2010.
The Rangers have a seven-game winning streak at Comerica Park dating back to Aug. 21, 2015. They've also won nine of their last ten games here. During that span, they've outscored the Tigers 63-27.
On Thursday, J.D. Martinez and Victor Martinez both hit home runs against the Orioles, a feat they've now accomplished 16 times. Only two pairs of teammates who shared the same last name have done so more often: Andruw and Chipper Jones (59 times), and Brooks and Frank Robinson (24 times).
Justin Verlander has faced Shin-Soo Choo more often than any other batter on the Rangers and has held him to a .224 average (13-for-58). Choo has two home runs but has struck out 24 times.
Mike Napoli has fared better, going 11-for-38 with three home runs.
Rougned Odor (0-for-11) is still looking for his first career hit against Verlander.
Griffin has generally fared well against Tigers hitters, although the big exception is Miguel Cabrera, who is expected to return today. Cabrera is 6-for-14 with two home runs in his career against Griffin.

Tigers vs. Rangers Preview: Justin Verlander is still trying to find his rhythm.
The Tigers’ ace currently has the highest walk rate of his career.

The Tigers have 4 of the unluckiest hitters in baseball.
Expected wOBA shows that the Tigers’ offense is better than it looks.
