NL Wild Card GameThread: St. Louis Cardinals at Los Angeles Dodgers

In eleven starts for the Dodgers after he was dealt to Los Angeles by Washington’s Nationals at the July 30th trade deadline, Max Scherzer posted a 1.98 ERA, a 1.96 FIP, eight walks, and 89 Ks in 68 13 innings pitched, over which he held opposing hitters to a .189/.220/.295 line.

His teammate in D.C., Trea Turner, who was sent to LA in the same deal, went 70 for 207 in 52 games and 226 plate appearances (.338/.385/.565) down the stretch, finishing up with an NL-best .328 overall on the year.

So, how did the two former Nationals fit in so well and get situated so quickly in their new home?
