World Series Clash: Can Explosive Offenses Rewrite Baseball History?
The Blue Jays are one of my favorite teams this year. I’ve discussed this before, but they were a team that I rooted for to do something because it seemed like they were always involved in the biggest name free agents. The problem is that they never actually got the free agent to come to the team. I don’t know if it was because of the team, the offer, or something else, but they always ultimately end up somewhere else. Offensively, this team hasn’t done much differently than it has in previous seasons. Perhaps the extension of Vlad Guerrero Jr. cleared up the concerns and bad jeju of the team. Whatever it was, it worked. Their pitching has been solid, their offense is versatile, and they have a chance to win the championship. Chris Bassitt takes the hill for them today. He has an 11-5 record with a 4.12 ERA, and a 1.31 WHIP. Say what you want about win/loss records, but having 11 wins means that Bassitt is at least positioning his team to win most games. The problem is most of those games have come at home. On the road, Bassitt is the owner of a 6.45 ERA in 11 outings. He has allowed four or more earned runs in seven of the outings. Dodgers hitters have performed well against Bassitt in the past, hitting .308 against him in 91 at-bats.
