After a run that included two flirtations with perfection and an absurd amount of Ks, Max Scherzer put up a clunker with 4.2 IP, 5 ER, 7 Hits, 0 BBs, 4 Ks. It's about time Scherzer had another rough outing to show how mortal he is. It's very easy to forget that he is capable of a start like this after his awesome run, and he's still the #2 guy, but I think this shows why he's not #1. Sure, this has very little meaning for all of y'all because you're A) not selling the guy and B) don't have any investment whether Scherzer is regarded as the best or second best guy around, but whatever, it's fun. Anyway, I'd rather have Kershaw for his history and better rates in grounders, strikeouts, and xFIP. You know how many starts Kershaw has with 4 Ks or fewer this season? None.
Let’s see what every other SP did yesterday:
