Won't matter with Verlander. If he starts Game 1, along with CC, that limits both of them to two starts on regular rest (if it goes five games). If he starts Game 2 (currently lined up for that), he would still be eligible to pitch two games on regular rest. They will almost certainly choose the longer series.
