Max Scherzer Struggling To Begin 2023
2 years agoNew York Mets star right-hander Max Scherzer's start on Tuesday didn't go as planned, as he allowed five earned runs across 5 1/3 innings. He gave up eight hits, walked two, and compiled just two punchouts in the game as his team lost to the Milwaukee Brewers 9-0. Scherzer now owns a 6.35 ERA after he let up three runs in six innings on Opening Day, and he's posted a 1.41 WHIP and 17.0% strikeout rate. It's no time for fantasy managers to panic about the 38-year-old, who pitched to a 2.29 ERA with 173 strikeouts over 145 1/3 innings a year ago, but they should keep an eye on him throughout the season in case his age is finally catching up to him.
