Can Starting Pitching Dominate and Decide the Epic Athletics vs. Blue Jays Showdown?
The Blue Jays were, once again, a team that I thought would be successful this season. Unfortunately, the team hasn’t really lived up to the promise of what I thought they would be. I’ve believed in this team for quite some time and they continue to burn me. You would think that if someone touches the stove and gets burned, they would stop touching the stove. Not me, apparently. The team is around .500 for the season, so they aren’t terrible, but I think with their talent, they are underperforming. Tonight, the Blue Jays send out Chris Bassitt to the mound. Bassitt is 4-3 for the season with a 3.38 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP. He has been outstanding at home this season with a 1.61 ERA in 28 innings. He hasn’t been great in May, with 13 earned runs in 27 innings overall. However, in 17 home innings, he has allowed just four earned runs. Athletics hitters are batting .225 against Bassitt as well, so not a great mark against him.
