Hard-throwing right-handers Justin Verlander and Jered Weaver are the crown jewels of the first round of the 2004 Major League Baseball draft, having posted double-digit win totals in each of their 10 combined full seasons in the big leagues. Verlander looks to improve to 3-0 this year against the visiting Los Angeles Angels, who hope Weaver can put aside his past woes versus the Detroit Tigers in Friday night’s series opener. Verlander was selected second overall by Detroit in 2004, while Weaver fell to the 12th pick and Los Angeles due to contractual demands by agent Scott Boras. They have been the most consistent first-rounders from their class, and the only All-Stars along with Yankees right-hander Phil Hughes.

Weaver leads the majors with 162 strikeouts, while Verlander’s 138 rank fifth in the AL. The Tigers starter is 2-0 with a 3.38 ERA in two starts against the Angels in 2010, and allowed one run and struck out seven over 8 1-3 innings to hand Weaver his first loss in a 5-1 Detroit victory May 2. Weaver matched his shortest outing of the year, giving up four runs over 4 2-3 innings while striking out six. Weaver has gotten used to facing tough opponents on the mound, going 2-3 with a 3.27 ERA in his last five starts while opposing Texas’ Cliff Lee twice, Oakland’s Trevor Cahill, Seattle’s Felix Hernandez, and Boston’s John Lackey in that span. He outdueled Lee on Sunday by allowing one unearned run over seven innings of a 4-1 victory. Weaver is 2-3 with a 6.51 ERA in seven career starts against the Tigers. Detroit third baseman Jhonny Peralta is 8 for 20 against him.
