Max Scherzer’s stats vs Dodgers ahead of World Series Game 7

Max Scherzer is the last weapon the Blue Jays will deploy against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2025 World Series in a bid to win Game 7. Scherzer’s career record against the Dodgers stands at 5-6 since 2008. While slightly negative, his ERA against the defending champions remains quite good.

As a Blue Jays player, Scherzer has officially pitched in two postseason games against the Dodgers. The first was in Game 3, a marathon 18-inning loss for Toronto, where he allowed three runs but received no decision. Game 7 will be his second.

During the regular season, he worked just 6.0 innings in a single game in California. The Blue Jays again lost that matchup (1-5), and Scherzer allowed two runs. The Dodgers hitter who poses the most significant threat against him is Shohei Ohtani, who holds a .500 average against the veteran.
