Phillies Pitcher Today: Aaron Nola

Aaron Nola is on the mound against the newest former Cy Young on the west coast, Max Scherzer.

Aside from that Tom Seaver game earlier this season, Nola has generally been a massive disappointment this year. He has a 4.49 ERA over 22 starts, though he does have 152 strikeouts over 126 1/3 innings. Prior to this season, he had a career 3.47 ERA over his first six MLB seasons.

Nola’s most recent start was one of his worst yet: five earned runs on five hits and three walks over five innings against the Nationals. He hasn’t made a scoreless start since his 12-strikeout game against the Mets on June 25, only his third scoreless start of the season. The Phillies are 11-11 in Nola’s starts, but that is largely in spite of him, not due to him.

Scherzer, meanwhile, is still Scherzer. He has a 2.75 ERA over 20 starts, and 157 strikeouts over 118 innings. His most recent start was his Dodger debut, and it was classic Mad Max: seven innings, five hits, two earned runs, one walk, ten strikeouts.

Over his eventual Hall of Fame career, Scherzer has held Phillies lineups to a .203/.265/.343 and .608 OPS over 24 games. He has a 2.55 ERA against them overall, and a 2.33 ERA over 11 starts at Citizens Bank Park. He only has lower ERAs in Toronto, Queens, and Cincinnati.

Zack Wheeler won’t pitch during this series, but Phillies fans haven’t forgotten that Dave Roberts chose then-National Scherzer over the statistically-superior Wheeler to start the All-Star Game. It was speculated by many that the choice was the Dodgers’ opening salvo in the quest to acquire Scherzer at the deadline.

Phillies vs Dodgers Prediction Today

This will be the first time the Phillies face a real opponent in a while, and with Nola on the mound, I don’t like their chances. Their only real hope is to out-slug the Dodgers, but with Scherzer on the mound, that feels unlikely.
