Superstitious players like Justin Verlander are well-known, albeit he has changed up his diet. Verlander made it known early in his career that he would have Taco Bell the night before his starts.

Astros Pitcher Justin Verlander Has This Crazy Pre-Game Meal

The Houston Astros pitcher was asked what his pre-start ritual would entail before his most recent postseason start in the ALDS.

Justin Verlander said that he is currently using a three-phase pregame meal.

During the postseason, Verland went through his everyday routine and mentioned that he ordered meals after receiving some rest.

Verlander said he would go to bed early to ensure he got enough sleep, and that afterward he would get a cheeseburger and a chicken Caesar salad before heading to Starbucks, probably for coffee.

Verlander mentioned that the location of his cheeseburger consumption fluctuates based on the success of his shows. The 40-year-old pitcher claimed that he once started a game well by leaving his filthy plate out, but he later developed a persistent superstition around it.

The attention moves from Justin Verlander’s unusual before food to the strategic skill he brings to Minute Maid Park as he hits the mound for his 14th postseason Game 1 start.

The Astros selected the seasoned pitcher to start the much awaited series because he is accustomed to the strain of postseason baseball. His August comeback to the Astros has further strengthened their pitching staff, as seen by his impressive 7-3 record and 3.31 ERA in 11 crucial starts in August and September.

Even while we may never find out, we do know that Verlander orders a chicken Caesar salad in addition to the burger. That’s astute. It appears to be concerned about one’s health.

Then he mentioned that he visits Starbucks before getting to the stadium.

Coffee, fiber-filled veggies, and hamburgers?
