With two lights out aces the Nationals can effectively use both in a short series. Friday Strasberg pitched great and Scherzer came in to strike out 3 in one late inning. Scherzer now starts today's game and if the Dodgers can't hit him (likely) they still have Strassberg for the final game if the Dodgers tie the series the next day and in that game they can again use Scherzer in relief once again. Different story if its a 7 game series.
