Unbelievable Comeback: How Today’s Starters Defied All Odds to Bounce Back!
I’ve said this before, but the Blue Jays are a team that I don’t actively root for, but I do pull for them. I’m for basically any team or franchise that tries to win games and looks to sign players to make them better. Toronto had a bright future for a while, but now it seems like year-to-year will be a battle. They are above .500 and currently sit in third place within the division. They probably won’t battle much for that crown unless they get hot or maybe trade for some pieces before the deadline, but they should potentially fight for a Wild Card spot. One of the people who will determine that fate is today’s starter, Chris Bassitt. Prior to his last two starts, Bassitt was pitching rather well. He entered May with a 2.62 ERA. It was at 2.83 before he allowed 10 earned runs over his past two games. Now he is sitting at a 3.80 ERA with a 1.36 WHIP. Before his last start, he had allowed just five earned runs in 28 innings at home this season. Having pitched for the Mets for so long, he has seen a lot of these Phillies, and they are 35-for-131 against him. Kyle Schwarber, Nick Castellanos, and Trea Turner have good numbers against him, but Bryce Harper is batting just .091.
