Justin Verlander representing ODU well.

Justin Verlander, a ODU alumni, helped his Tigers force a one game playoff against the Twins on Tuesday for the AL Central title and a first round meeting with the New York Yankees. Verlander pitched 7 2/3 innings, gave up 3 runs and got 5 Strikeouts to finish the season with a American League leading 269 K's!!! He finishes the year with a 19-9 record with a 3.45 ERA. With his AL leading 19 wins you would think he would be a clear cut Cy Young Award recipient, but with Zack Greinke's crazy year that pretty much destroys his chances.

Even though i don't like the Tigers, i'm pullin for them in the game against the Twins. Either way, ODU is represented well!
