Veteran starting pitchers Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander began the 2023 season with the New York Mets, and prior to the Major League Baseball trade deadline, both were traded to the Texas Rangers (Scherzer) and the Houston Astros (Verlander).

With both teams potentially winning the American League West division and having strong enough current records to qualify for a wild card spot for the team that does not win the division, MLB fans have the potential to see these two pitchers start against one another in the postseason.

Despite having been on opposing teams in the 2019 World Series, Scherzer and Verlander have not been opposing starters in the same postseason game.

Resolves YES if any MLB postseason game features Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander as opposing starting pitchers. Minimum 1 pitch thrown. If either pitcher is slated to start but is scratched due to injury, this market resolves NO.

Other NO resolutions:

• Either Texas Rangers and/or Houston Astros fail to make the 2023 MLB postseason

• Max Scherzer and/or Justin Verlander are declared ineligible for the 2023 MLB postseason or are not added to their teams' postseason roster (injury, suspension, etc)
