37 Max Scherzer, SP

Heading into Tuesday, Tigers starter Max Scherzer was the No. 1 pitcher in all of Fantasy. But can the undefeated righty finish the season atop his position?

Al Melchior said on Tuesday’s Fantasy Baseball Today that it’s possible but mentioned some stiff competition that could round into form as the season progresses -- including Scherzer’s teammate Justin Verlander. Melchior also offered up his choice between Scherzer and Felix Hernandez.

Tigers starter Max Scherzer set a team record for consecutive wins to start a season as he moved to 10-0 Monday night. Scherzer had little trouble in the win over Baltimore.

The fireballer managed 10 more strikeouts over six solid innings to lower his ERA to 3.08. Scherzer gave up just a solo homer to Chris Davis among seven hits to allow just one earned run on 113 pitches.

The 28-year-old has three 10-strikeout games over his last 10 starts and 116 over 96 1/3 innings on the year. He's been fantastic and he'll look to move to 11-0 when he next takes the hill, likely Saturday against Boston.

Tigers starter Max Scherzer became the first Detroit pitcher to start a season 9-0 in 75 years as he defeated the Royals in Kansas City Tuesday night. 

Scherzer gave up just two runs over seven solid innings and 103 pitches in the 3-2 win as his ERA is at 3.19. He gave up just three hits -- including the first homer of the year for David Lough -- and walked two batters with six strikeouts. 

Scherzer has 106 strikeouts over 90 1/3 innings and is second in the American League in Ks. He's got one of the best WHIP's in the league and hasn't lost in 13 starts. Scherzer will look to move to 10-0 when he next starts Monday against Baltimore. 

Tigers starter Max Scherzer threw seven strong innings against the Rays Thursday.
