The highs were high, but unfortunately the lows were even lower

Not exactly a guy you wanna give the ball to in a playoff game.
Due to his lack of success over the last few games, there is a good chance that the Blue Jays end up keeping Scherzer on the bench in the playoffs as they have so much more solid options.
As of right now, the Blue Jays are running a four man starting rotation which would be a lot better if Eric Lauer was in instead of Scherzer.
