I have no problem with Verlander winning the MVP. He was the most valuable player to his team.

Consider, Detroit finished 95-67, good for .586 winning %.

In games that Verlander pitched, Detroit was 25-9, .735 winning %

In games that Verlander did not pitch, 70-58, .549 winning %

In games where Verlander did not get a decision he left with a lead once, they lost, left tied once and they lost, left losing 3 times, all only by one run and they went 1-2.

Line: 9IP, 6H, 2R 2ER, 1BB, 4K
Line: 7.2IP, 7H, 1R, 1ER, 2BB, 8K

Those are two of his five losses above.

He threw a near perfect game against the Jays, his only blemish a 12 pitch walk.

His last loss was July 15th.

That to me, says MVP.
