There’s no question that Max Scherzer has been everything that the Dodgers had hoped he would be and then some after being traded to LA at the deadline. But, despite the team having a 12-0 record in his starts, Scherzer hasn’t displayed the “Mad Max” like dominance that made him one of the frontrunners to take home the NL Cy Young Award.
Including yesterday’s outing, Scherzer has posted a combined 6.75 ERA in his last three starts where he’s averaging just 4.6 strikeouts. We discuss why Scherzer hasn’t looked like his dominant self lately and how to get him back on track.
