The goal in trading for Max Scherzer was to add an arm to pair with Clayton Kershaw, Walker Buehler, and Julio Urías. However, in doing so, the Dodgers have received yet another Cy Young candidate for this season. While Buehler has worked to make himself the frontrunner, Scherzer is making his own case with 7 straight wins since crossing the country.
He’s made 7 starts since arriving in Los Angeles and the team has won all 7 of those starts. When asked about how it felt to contribute at such a high level, Scherzer gave a pretty humble answer.
