Darvish has been excellent down the stretch with a 2.41 ERA and a 4-1 record in his last five starts. He is also 2-0 with a 0.64 ERA against the Mets this season. Scherzer has been solid but not spectacular down the stretch with a 2-2 record in his last five starts. If you remove his 2019 performance that led the Nationals to the World Series title, Scherzer is just 4-6 lifetime in the playoffs. Darvish will get the Padres off on top. Take San Diego.
