Among starting pitchers on tonight's slate, Max Scherzer ranks first with a 2.26 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA), and he also sits first in both strikeout rate (38.7%) and swinging-strike rate (17.5%). Of course, that would be the case for any slate he's pitching on as he ranks first among all qualifying pitchers in each of those stats.

The Tampa Bay Rays make for a middling matchup, posting an above-average wRC+ while striking out at a below-average rate against right-handed pitching, but a matchup with Scherzer is brutal enough that oddsmakers still have them as the day's least appealing offense. Their 2.77 implied total is Tuesday's lowest, and the Nationals are the day's biggest favorites (-245 moneyline).

Scherzer has topped 58 FanDuel points in four of his last five starts, and his average of 49.9 FanDuel points per game ranks second among all players this season. Even with an unexceptional matchup, he is today's top arm.
