Justin Verlander’s future Hall of Fame plaque probably will not make note of his performance in the World Series.

After blowing a five-run lead by giving up five runs in five innings in the Astros’ Game 1 loss to the Phillies, Verlander owns a career 6.07 ERA in the World Series. That is the worst in MLB history for pitchers with at least 30 innings pitched. The others sharing Verlander’s company are Carl Eskine (5.83), Don Sutton (5.26), Gary Nolan (4.96) and Al Leiter (4.59), according to MLB.com.

Yankees fans are going to find this tidbit especially hard to believe given that Verlander is their personal October tormenter. He is 5-1 with a 2.62 ERA against the Yankees while pitching for the Tigers and Astros in six different American League Division Series or Championship Series.

Actually, all of MLB should find Verlander’s big-stage struggles shocking considering that he is likely going to win his third career Cy Young Award after the season. And Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw’s postseason flops are chronicled ad nauseam compared to Verlander’s.

Verlander, 39, is now 0-6 in eight starts totaling just 43 innings in the Fall Classic. He is even worse when opening the series, with a 10.29 ERA (16 earned runs in 14 innings pitched) of Game 1s.

It looked like Verlander was about to rewrite history Friday when he retired the first 10 batters he faced and held a 5-0 lead in the third inning. Sure enough, however, the Phillies struck for three two-out runs in the third, tied the score in the fifth and won the game, 6-5, against the Astros’ bullpen in the 10th inning.

“I need to do better. No excuses,” Verlander said of his latest Game 1 stinker.

He was not asked about his repeat failures or World Series legacy.
