Scherzer Set to Defy Expectations and Derail Schlittler’s Highly Anticipated Road Debut

If you’ve read my articles for the past two years, you know there are some teams that I like more than others for whatever reason. Even if I am not necessarily a fan of that team, I tend to like certain teams more than others. One of those teams is the Blue Jays. For whatever reason, I’ve thought they should be better than their results indicated over the past few years. This year they are finally clicking and are currently sitting in first place in the division. That doesn’t mean they will win the division, or that they will make the playoffs. However, they are playing better baseball this season than they have in a few years. They have a pitching staff they can count on and a good offense. One guy on the staff who could make a great impact on this playoff push is Max Scherzer, and he takes the ball tonight. While Schlittler is at the beginning of his career, Scherzer is closer to the end. It seems like he still has some gas in the tank. He has made four starts since an early season injury. In those games, he has gone 20 innings and allowed 10 earned runs. Not the dominating numbers we are familiar with, but he is still keeping them in games. One of the games was against the Yankees, where he allowed two earned runs over five innings.
