Max Scherzer stands out as one of the premier pitchers of his era.
If he's tapped as the Game 7 starter for the Toronto Blue Jays in the World Series' deciding game, it'll be a memorable occasion regardless of the outcome.
He's also got a great omen on his side.
The most recent Game 7 of the World Series occurred in 2019, featuring a matchup between the Washington Nationals and the Houston Astros.
Scherzer took the mound for The Nats that day, and by the night's conclusion, the Nationals were celebrating a 6-2 win.
Why not do it all over again?

Scherzer isn't the pitcher he once was. His regular season ERA was above 5.00.
He doesn't require a full season of his previous performance. Instead, he needs to embody Mad Max for a limited number of innings, at most.
The Blue Jays are expected to have their full pitching staff available, meaning Scherzer will probably be removed at the first indication of difficulty.
He's responsible for temporarily removing that initial indication of a problem.

He's experienced with Game 7 situations. It's his responsibility to be focused and ready. Honestly, there's no question he'll deliver.
Having Scherzer pitch in a Game 7 is a wonderful sight for baseball enthusiasts worldwide.
