“Will Devers and Bregman Exploit Bassit’s Weaknesses for a Historic Showdown?”

To me, it is really important to get out to a good start for specific teams. If you are a team like the Blue Jays and you lose a bunch of games to start the year, the thought has to be that they are going to have another down year and not make the playoffs. The team has certainly invested in players, and seemingly been tied to every big-name free agent there is. Other than not landing the “big fish,” I’m not really sure what you can ask for. To start the year, the Blue Jays are actually doing well – they are not only 8-5, but they got some positive morale with the team by getting Vlad Gurerro Jr. signed to a long-term deal. The team sends out someone that has been surprisingly good for them over the past year or so, Chris Bassitt. Bassitt isn’t the top name in the rotation with Max Scherzer and Kevin Gausman on the list, but he has been really good. He is 1-0 for the season with a 0.71 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP. There is reason to think he could struggle tonight, though. Red Sox hitters are batting .292 against him, with Rafael Devers and Alex Bregman both causing quite a bit of damage.
