Max Scherzer for the win among best MLB player prop bets (Yardbarker)

The bottom line is: I'm more confident in this player prop than any parlay I could put together for Wednesday's games, and it offers more value.

That’s a bad combination if you’re the Yankees. Especially since the Yankees' bullpen threw 5.2 innings in the opener of the Subway Series on Tuesday. Even if German struggles early, Yankees manager Aaron Boone might have no choice but to leave German out there in order to save his bullpen. And it’s not like the Yankees have been playing great lately. But it’s way more than just the minuscule ERA. Scherzer is striking out guys like it’s nothing — at least eight strikeouts in each of his last four starts — and has walked just two batters this month. It might be too early to say this is finally the Mets' year, but one thing is certain: Max Scherzer is back. But the answer is no across the board. The bottom line is: I’m more confident in this player prop than any parlay I could put together for Wednesday's games, and it offers more value.

ClutchPoints MLB prop bet of the week (ClutchPoints)

The MLB season is at its core right now and there are a ton of prop bets provided by FanDuel. The Subway Series is going on in New York as ...

The Yanks also are at the top of the league with a .445 SLG and .776 OPS as a team. The under is the favorite here and it could happen if the Yankees attack Scherzer early. That is a good sign if you are considering taking the over on this bet. The reason the right-hander can hit the over will not be because of his ability, but he is facing a team that is known for striking out. Max Scherzer is one of the top pitchers the baseball world has ever seen. The Mets will look to win the series tonight and they wouldn’t want anyone else on the mound.

Mets getting plenty of value from Max Scherzer's big contract (Newsday)

Mets starting pitcher Max Scherzer looks on from the dugout... ... Max Scherzer is only in the first season of his record three-year, $130-million contract with ...

“You get in a rivalry game — when the fans feel it, you feel it,” Scherzer said this week. One was the May 18 night Scherzer walked off the mound at Citi with two outs in the sixth due to the oblique strain, signaling to the dugout he was cooked. You get the sense he could be pitching a Wiffle ball game at a backyard BBQ and still have that same white-hot glare. The way he approaches it -- whether it’s spring training or tonight -- it’s a great example for everybody.” That’s another Scherzer strength: when you hand over the baseball, you have to fight him to get it back. Over at Citi Field, in the Subway Series finale, Scherzer was masterful on the big stage, firing seven scoreless innings to protect a 2-0 lead. What an asset for a manager, and Showalter -- also in his debut season with the Mets -- couldn’t have asked for a better roster addition. While it’s open to debate how much a starting pitcher can dramatically influence a team’s performance as a whole -- we’re talking about someone who only sees the field once every five days -- the Scherzer Effect is real for these Mets. And from an attitude perspective probably has as much to do with their 60-37 record as anything, with the exception of maybe Pete Alonso’s machine-like RBI production (83 through 97 games) at the plate. With most of the 46,693 fans on their feet, Scherzer carved up Judge by mixing in one fastball among four sliders, including the final nasty breaker that he flailed away at -- pitch no. Ideally, the Scherzer signing wasn’t supposed to be deGrom insurance. It was a bold (and expensive) strategy, spending $76.8 million this season -- nearly 28% of the Mets’ entire 2022 payroll -- on those two pitchers alone. The Scherzer-Judge showdowns represented this rivalry at its finest, especially in the seventh, when Judge came to the plate with the tying runs on base.

Max Scherzer after trying PitchCom: 'It should be illegal' (The Comeback)

"But I also think it should be illegal. Stealing signs is part of the game."

"Stealing signs is part of the game." The PitchCom technology has received mostly positive reviews from pitchers and catchers around the league. PitchCom features a keypad that catchers can use to request pitches without using hand signals, and that transmits an audio signal to the pitcher’s hat.

Scherzer's birthday gift: 3 K's of Judge (MLB.com)

NEW YORK -- Max Scherzer did not deviate from the scouting report. He had no reason to. Earlier Wednesday, when Scherzer had faced Yankees slugger Aaron ...

He followed it up with another slider well outside the zone to strike out Judge on his final pitch of the evening. When Judge returned to the plate to lead off the sixth, Scherzer was a bit more aggressive with him, understanding that a solo homer couldn’t cost him the lead. Unwilling to risk another first-pitch fastball, Scherzer attacked Judge with nothing but off-speed pitches when he came to the plate with two men on base in a one-run game. “I know the type of damage he can do against the fastball, and I’ve got to keep him at bay,” Scherzer said. So as Judge approached the plate again in a nearly identical situation in the seventh, Scherzer changed almost nothing. “But sometimes when that happens, you expand the zone a little bit looking for it.”

Max Scherzer is just crazy enough to be right? (Deadspin)

Max Scherzer being a little too intense for his own good has rarely been in question. He would tell you his intensity and downright borderline psychosis ...

But again, Scherzer has had things just so for so long, and baseball players like things just so, given the vagaries of the game itself and how much depends on a fraction of an inch here or there. What is and what isn’t part of baseball has been a constant discussion forever. It’s important to remember that the actual stealing of the signs wasn’t the problem for baseball and the Astros’ opponents. That doesn’t excuse the Astros (or the Red Sox and Yankees who we also know were using tech to steal signs but didn’t gain nearly the notoriety). You’d think baseball teams would have figured it out, and some did because some teams went into Minute Maid Park using multiple signs from jump street with no one on base. Scherzer has spent his entire career peering between his catcher’s knees (I know how it sounds but it’s the truth) to find out what the next pitch should be, and last night was the first night he didn’t. This doesn’t sound like much to you and me, but to a baseball player, and especially a pitcher, it’s akin to the sky changing color. It’s not that pitch com is a plague on the game or even a hindrance.

This Subway Series had the Max factor (MLB.com)

If we created an elite division in baseball right now, it would include these five teams, carrying these records after Wednesday's games: Dodgers: 65-32 ...

They made another one to the Yankees the last two nights at Citi Field. The loudest of all, over the roar of the home crowd, was by Scherzer, the birthday boy. Of course a lot is going to change on the board, and that includes the Mets, in the days leading up to the Trade Deadline. The Yankees already made the first big move, getting Andrew Benintendi from the Royals. Juan Soto is still out there. Now he’s about to be joined at the top of the rotation by another ace. For now the Mets continue to hold off the Braves. So the Mets have made that statement. Scherzer threw a pitch that tried to break all the way into the Mets’ dugout and Judge swung and missed, and Scherzer was next seen charging up that dugout and high-fiving everybody in sight. But Scherzer was the star of it, as he continues to remind everybody why he has been one of the great pitchers of his time, as great as his old teammate Justin Verlander (now that he is healthy again) or Clayton Kershaw or anybody else you want to throw into the conversation about big guys like this. He came back from an oblique injury suffered in May on July 5 against the Reds. He’s pitched 32 1/3 innings since then, and never allowed more than two runs in any of his starts, five earned runs in all. But Scherzer, pitching on his 38th birthday, was paid an awful lot of money by Mets owner Steve Cohen to pitch games exactly like this, July feeling and sounding like October on a night when the two teams played in front of the 10th biggest crowd in Citi Field history. I also believe I have the stuff to get him out.” Marte’s hit won the game and Seth Lugo was great out of the bullpen, picking up Peterson and getting the Mets to the bottom of the ninth. That is all he needed to say. At the age of 38, after all the years pitching in Detroit and Washington and Los Angeles and now New York, Scherzer still provides the wow factor, never more than when the lights are turned up, and they sure were turned up over the past couple of nights.
