MLB betting fans were in shock when they saw the starting pitcher for tonight game with the Nationals. This is because Max Scherzer is to start despite a Broken Nose in tonight’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies. This is just one day after breaking his nose during batting practice.
However, baseball betting pick experts believe this did not have a lot effect on tonight’s sports betting odds. The reasoning behind this idea is due to Max Scherzer being a veteran player who has confidence in his abilities. Thus, his pitching abilities should not affect his pitching skills tonight.
Scherzer is Confident about Tonight’s Game
The ace pitcher for the Nationals looks pretty bad with a broken nose and a black eye from yesterday’s practice. However, despite his injury after a ball hit his face after bunting it during practice he is ready to play. According to baseball news, the 34 years old pitcher said, “Hey, I’m pitching. Expect me to pitch tomorrow”.
In addition, Davey Martinez, the manager for the Nationals said that Scherzer is “adamant about pitching”. However, it is not known whether he will be wearing any protective splint on his face for tonight game. After the incident, the biggest concern for Martinez was whether Scherzer’s face would get worst overnight. His concerns were alleviated after receiving a call from Scherzer saying that he is able to play.
Not having Scherzer play in tonight’s game would be a huge setback for the Washington Nationals. This is because they have not done very well this season with a 33-38 record. The game against the Phillies will take place at 5:05PM ET at Nationals Park Stadium. Thus, Washington betting fans are happy that Max Scherzer is to start despite a Broken Nose.
Max Scherzer is one of the best pitchers in the league with 2,585 career strikeouts. Furthermore, he has won the Cy Young Award three times and is currently 5-5 with a 2.81 ERA this season.
