Max Scherzer stumbles, Rangers fall short
by Chris Schommer | Sun, Sep 15th 8:45am EDT
Max Scherzer had a lackluster outing in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Mariners, allowing two earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out only two over four innings.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance was a bit of a step back in what has been a reasonably solid season for Scherzer, who now sports a 3.95 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP. His reduced innings and lower strikeout total in this game could be concerning signs for fantasy managers relying on his typically high strikeout rates. Given his season-long metrics, including a slightly elevated 4.27 FIP and a decent 4.00 K/BB ratio, Scherzer remains a viable fantasy option, but this outing underscores some potential volatility in his performances. Managers should monitor closely for any signs of lingering issues or a bounce-back.
