LINEUP EDGE
Published Saturday, September 26, 2026
9 of 9 Pittsburgh Pirates hitters facing Justin Verlander have more signals for them than against, averaging +1.1 a hitter — +0.9 on the power signals and +0.6 on the contact signals, so this leans more toward damage than base hits. Justin Verlander and Comerica Park add +2 on top, counted once for the whole lineup rather than once per hitter. Batting order is tonight's posted lineup. This counts how many independent signals agree — it is not a probability and has not been graded against results.
