Fantasy Impact:

This isn’t a huge surprise as Scherzer has long been the ace of the Washington staff. The Nationals has good alternatives with Stephen Strasburg and Patrick Corbin, but they’ll both be available out of the bullpen for this winner-take-all matchup. The Nats will face either the Cardinals or Brewers for the right to play the Dodgers in the NLDS.
