Verlander and Scherzer set to face off as Mets take on Tigers.

Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer, former star pitchers for the Detroit Tigers, are returning to Detroit to face their former team as members of the New York Mets. Verlander will make his Mets debut on Thursday after a delayed start due to a back injury, while Scherzer is set to pitch on Wednesday after serving a 10-game suspension for violating MLB's foreign substance policy. The Mets invested heavily in the two three-time Cy Young winners during the offseason, hoping to boost their chances in the highly competitive NL East.
