Sorry, as a filthy casual I’m a little surprises by Scherzer over say, Bieber. Can any of you more knowledgeable folks explain what stunningly obvious point I’m missing? Much appreciated!
Shane Bieber hasn’t been as good in this post season as Max has, that’s it. Max has a better chance of going 4+, maybe 5, innings and allowing 3 or fewer runs than Bieber.
Also, this is an important game for us to win, because it’s seen as the easier win than tomorrow (Ohtani starting pitcher) or Wednesday (Snell starting pitching I presume). So, we want to use out better starting pitcher to try to win tonight
Wild! The large chunk of my baseball knowledge that isn’t from this run or playing as a kid is from Moneyball, so I guess I just figured stats/sample size would be a larger concern.

Veteran experience, i assume
Fair, thanks!

Ahhhhh, I guess I figured with such small sample sizes they’d look at the year or something at least. Thanks!
The playoffs are about as “what have you done for me lately” as MLB gets
