It's a bit surprising that he is only seventh in the majors in FIP, 11th in xFIP and fourth in WAR, but the guy is still a stud. Still, Lester is in great form too, allowing three runs or less in five straight starts and in 10 of his last 11, including allowing two earned or less in four of those last five. The Under looks like the better play here, although I wouldn't argue with Scherzer at + odds.
