Tuesday night, the Los Angeles Dodgers will send Hyun-Jin Ryu to the mound as they take on the Detroit Tigers and Justin Verlander. Ryu makes his 17 ^th start as Verlander makes his 19^th.

Hyun-Jin Ryu didn't get the decision in his last outing and that kept his record at 9 - 4 with a 3.08 ERA. In that start, Ryu went 7 innings and allowed 2 runs on 7 hits (including a home run). He struck out 8 without issuing a single walk. Ryu is having a decent season and should come close to matching, if not bettering, 2013's results when he was 14 - 8 with a 3.00 ERA in 30 starts.

During his rookie campaign last season, Ryu didn't face the Tigers and he has no experience against anyone in the Detroit lineup. But Ryu is pitching well and with the help of a good scouting report, he could be successful in his next start.

Justin Verlander evened his record at 7 - 7 with a 4.71 ERA after getting the win his last time out. In the victory, Verlander surrendered 2 runs (on 2 solo homers) and 9 hits in 6 innings of work. He didn't issue any walks as he struck out 4. Before that win, Verlander hadn't claimed a victory in over a month. There is still a chance for him to match his win total from 2013 when he posted a record of 13 - 12 with a 3.46 ERA in 34 starts.

Last season, Verlander didn't face the Dodgers but he has faced a few of the Los Angeles hitters before. The 6 Dodgers that have faced Verlander before are batting .208 with 21 hits, a homer and 5 RBIs in 101 at-bats.
