Confirmed for postseason start Scherzer will start a potential Game 163 or NL Wild Card Game for the Dodgers, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Impact Scherzer was roughed up in his final start of the regular season Wednesday when he allowed six runs (five earned) in 5.1 innings against the Padres. However, the right-hander tossed a bullpen session Friday and will serve as the starter in the Dodgers' first postseason matchup.

Column: Which Max Scherzer will show up next? Dodgers' margin for error is slim The road back to the World Series figures to be more treacherous than it was last year, the Dodgers' margin for error smaller.

Turns in another rough outing Scherzer allowed six runs (five earned) on 11 hits while striking out four over 5.1 innings Wednesday against the Padres. He did not factor into the decision.
Impact The Padres made Scherzer work, as it was the first time all season he's allowed double-digit hits and has thrown under five strikeouts in a game. He allowed his first run on a solo shot from Victor Caratini in the second and then Manny Machado added a two-run shot in the third. The Friars would score two more in the fourth and then took the lead in the sixth on a Wil Myers triple that finally knocked Scherzer out of the game at 97 pitches. The 36-year-old has put together back-to-back outings allowing five earned runs while also failing to reach six innings. His recent performances may have dampened his chances at winning the Cy Young this year, but he still boasts a 2.46 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 236:36 K:BB over 179.1 innings.

Stumbles at Coors Field Scherzer allowed five earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out six across five innings Thursday against the Rockies. He did not factor into the decision.
Impact Scherzer entered the outing having not allowed an earned run across his last 36.2 frames, spanning five starts. That ended when he surrendered three runs in the second inning, and it was also the first time he's allowed more than two runners to cross the plate in his last nine appearances. Even with the poor outing, Scherzer has maintained a 2.28 ERA with a 232:36 K:BB across 174 innings on the campaign.
