Toronto Blue Jays starter Max Scherzer had his fifth consecutive quality start on Tuesday. Depending on how Shane Bieber works out. He may be it going forward.
Scherzer is all the way back. He cranked it up to 104 pitches over six innings of one-run ball, and at this point, he's not just flashing the top end of his talent, he's showing it every time he steps on the mound.
Over Scherzer's past four starts, he's gone at least six innings in each and has given the Blue Jays a 1.80 ERA over 25 frames.
Unless Bieber comes back and looks like three years ago, and then you have the best problem ever. Still Scherzer tho based on the fact that it's Max Scherzer
Every conversation around the Blue Jays from now until the end of September needs to have an eye on October.
When the Blue Jays signed Scherzer to that one-year, $15.5 million deal, the dream was him pitching postseason games.

It's taken a long, often complicated road to get here as Scherzer dealt with that nagging thumb issue, but in a way that no one planned on, perhaps it's left Scherzer with a full tank of gas for the games that matter most.
