Athletics vs. Astros Friday MLB probable pitchers, odds: Justin Verlander returns with AL Cy Young race nearly dead heat

Justin Verlander will start for the Houston Astros against the Oakland A's on Friday night. He has been out since August 28 with a calf injury. The Cy Young race in the AL is a dead heat between Dylan Cease and Verler. The MVP races are over as well with Aaron Judge a -2500 favorite in AL and Paul Goldschmidt at -2000 in NL. Miami's Sandy Alcantara is the favorite to win the NL CyYoung. Atlanta's Kyle Wright is likely to be the only player to have a 20-game winning streak. Chicago White Sox are playing for their postseason lives.
