The upcoming game between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Los Angeles Dodgers features a pitching matchup of Max Scherzer and Clayton Kershaw, both of whom are considered future Hall of Famers. Their combined career achievements include 155.5 bWAR, 6,461 strikeouts, 435 wins, and four World Series titles. This matchup marks only the second time these two elite pitchers have faced each other in regular season play. Additionally, young star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. of the Blue Jays is already showing statistics that might position him as a potential Hall of Fame candidate in the future.
Kershaw and Scherzer have combined for 155.5 bWAR, 6,461 strikeouts, 435 wins, four World Series championships, 19 All-Star games, and six Cy Young awards.
Max Scherzer and Clayton Kershaw, who face off Friday, first opposed each other on September 7, 2008. They are the first duo in MLB history to start against each other as rookies and accumulate 3,000+ career strikeouts.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is just 26-years-old but has already accumulated a 25.4 bWAR through his age 25 season, more than Hall of Famers Eddie Murray and Frank Thomas.
Over his seven years in the big leagues, Guerrero is averaging 179 hits and 31 home runs a season, positioning him as a potential Hall of Famer.
