Believe it or not, Scherzer has not won a playoff game since 2013. The Nationals are 0-4 in his postseason starts.
He also came on in the 5th inning of Game 5 of the 2017 NLDS with a 4-3 lead and ended up with the loss. That half inning was the first in MLB history with batters reaching base on a dropped 3rd strike, intentional walk, catcher's interference, and HBP.

Boston, MA
Yeah, but that's not so fair, he's had some great postseason starts since then that his team has proceeded to blow. Here's one when he was still on DET, BOS fans will remember this one happily:
Yes, good point. He as a 2.35 ERA in the six playoff appearances since his last win.

I tell people that I’m usually slow transitioning to the next sport on the calendar, but this year, Pats first reg. season game and I was all football.
New Madden came out on August 2nd, from then on it was “what’s baseball?”

Too late for that? Was thinking that they should have started him.

But for sure they should put someone else in.
Think I saw a tweet somewhere that the plan is Scherzer to Strasburg.
