Dave Roberts reiterated to the media that despite two consecutive subpar starts, Max Scherzer will be ‘the guy’ for the Dodgers in a potential Game 163 or Wild Card Game.
Scherzer has been nothing short of brilliant in the vast majority of the starts he’s made since being traded to the Dodgers at the deadline. The NL Cy Young candidate owns a 1.98 ERA, 0.82 WHIP, 33.6 K%, and opponents are hitting just .188 off of him. But even the great ones have off nights, and Scherzer has allowed 10 runs across 10.1 IP combined in his last two outings.
