Top 100 Starting Pitchers For 2023: Week 18

Maximum Madness Kentucky Scherzer -- known to most of you as "Max Scherzer" due to SEO requirements -- has joined the elite sniper squad of the Texas Rangers for another bid at the World Series. How greedy can a guy get? Just like Nolan Ryan piling up all those no-hitters. Come on, Nolan -- share the wealth! It probably makes sense that Scherzer joins the team that Nolan Ryan served as President and CEO for during the financial crisis. 

Last week, I asked y'all to target Scherzer in any last minute fantasy trades. Although Scherzer was legit awful in July -- like, top 5 worst starting pitchers in the league awful -- his true skill stats looked pretty reasonable. We all know Scherzer is a playoff magnet. He's got an opt-out clause in his contract and enough life left in his arm for another contract after this season. And now Scherzer gets to mentor a pitching room filled with the likes of [checks notes] Dane Dunning and Jon Gray. What a beautiful world!
