Max Scherzer does not pitch deep enough to support a high strikeout total. He is averaging 4.3 innings a start over his last 14 and 7.1 strikeouts per nine — neither the rate nor the opportunity is doing much work, and he is usually pulled before a third look at the lineup. A total set off season averages will not know that.
