Last year, Verlander helped Astros beat Los Angeles Dodgers to win the World Series. He tweeted: "#BeverlyHillsHotel really making me pay for that World Series win. Thanks for the great lunch as always!" Later, Verlander told The Sun, "The manager came over, and we ended up laughing about it. They actually ended up comping the meal."
