Davis has a notoriously small and erratic strike zone:
Zito has a 5.05 era with 25 walks in 35 innings in starts with Davis behind the plate in his career.
Can Detroit hitters remain patient?
Verlander has the tendency to scowl and stare at the umps when he feels he's being squeezed and it can throw his game off; however...
Verlander was the beneficiary of a wide zone from Gerry Davis last October in the playoffs vs CC Sabathia whom many felt got squeezed by Davis while Verlander got an ever-expanding corner.
I don't know if it's a lefty/righty thing for Davis but just an FYI thing regarding his history.
Anyone have any career stats for Verlander and Davis?
