Blue Jays World Series: Max Scherzer talks facing Dodgers, Clayton Kershaw
"I understand how everybody wants to attack me, how I want to attack them. At the end of the day, you got to go out there and compete and you got to throw strikes. It kind of gets back down to the basics. So you can try and make it as advanced as you want, but a lot of times it's the more simple approach that works better. You got to go out there and want to win."
"Scherzer has faced the Dodgers 19 times (17 starts) in his career, going 5-6 with a 2.38 ERA and 1.05 WHIP across 109.2 innings pitched. One of those outings came in August, when the veteran started opposite Clayton Kershaw in an entertaining game. The future Hall of Famers exchanged autographed jerseys after the Dodgers' 5-1 win. Scherzer struggled during the regular season but turned in a solid start against the Seattle Mariners in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series."
The Los Angeles Dodgers evened the World Series with a 5-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. Max Scherzer, in his 18th season, will face his former team and seeks a third World Series championship. Scherzer briefly pitched for the Dodgers in 2021 and will stick to a simple, strike-focused game plan against familiar hitters. He has faced the Dodgers 19 times, posting a 5-6 record with a 2.38 ERA and 1.05 WHIP across 109.2 innings. Scherzer struggled in the regular season but produced a solid ALCS Game 4 start and could make World Series history by pitching for a fourth team.
