Verlander is making his ninth Opening Day start for the Tigers on Monday, but his career record in openers is just 1-1, Brendan Savage of MLive.com reports.
Verlander's career Opening Day ERA is 4.73. Last year, he recorded a quality start by going six innings and allowing three earned runs to the Marlins, but Francisco Rodriguez blew the save. Regardless of how Verlander performs Monday, he should rack up plenty of wins and serve as an elite fantasy starter in 2017.
