After posting an outstanding SIERA of 2.68 last season, Max Scherzer has seen his numbers tail off a bit this season, but he’s still pitching extremely well. Scherzer, a righty, is sporting an elite 31.1% strikeout rate to go with a 7.4% walk rate and 3.10 SIERA.
With a projected point total of 39.42, Scherzer is our top-ranked pitcher for today’s matchup with the Chicago White Sox, who have one of the league’s lesser offenses. Chicago ranks 24th in wOBA (.303), 25th in ISO (.137), and 25th in homers (52). The White Sox have been especially bad versus right-handed pitching, posting a measly .299 wOBA, which ranks 27th.
