Start Scherzer vs. Dodgers? 100%WHIR

[philaphan]

Do I even think about starting Scherzer vs. the Dodgers tonight. He has gotten better with each start but still hasn't gone past the 6th.

Advice please

Dodgers are undefeated at home this season and are red hot on offense so I'd bench him.

I'm also leaning against for this one. Scherzer has the stuff to dominate anyone on a given day, but that lineup is just mashing right now. He'll get Ks though -- depends if you need the innings.

I am good with Ks and whip right now. What I was looking for was a low/decent era tonight and maybe even a W. I am not sure Scherzer will get that against Manny & Co.

Well those of us who said to bench him were wrong (though I doubt anyone expected the win). The silver lining is that he's pitching great and I won't be sitting him this season again.
