The plan seems to be for Scherzer to pitch game 4 but at the same time the team is also looking at all of their options still.
However, there is a good chance that Scherzer will end up on the mound in Seattle for game 4 as if not the Blue Jays would likely end up pitching a bullpen game.
Should Max Scherzer start an ALCS game?
