WAR is from baseball-reference.com: baseball-reference.com

Jeremy Hellickson, Mark Buehrle, and Texas wannabes Matt Harrison and Alexi Ogando drop from the conversation while C.J. Wilson aces his way back in.

Only four no-decisions for Verlander so far this season, and he has gone at least 6 innings in every one of his starts. He has only given up more than 4 runs one time, and that was in a game his team later won. Verlander leads in six statistical categories (more than everyone else combined) plus ties for the fewest losses with C.J Wilson and Josh Beckett. No other person leads in more than one statistical category:

Jered Weaver has the lowest ERA
Dan Haren has yielded the fewest walks
James Shields has the most complete games

Verlander has pretty much led this race from the gate.
