Chris Bassitt Allows Three Runs In Opening Day Loss
Chris Bassitt allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while taking the loss against the Astros. Bassitt struck out three in his 5 1/3 innings pitched on Opening Day. The 32-year-old righty pitched to a strong 2.29 ERA last season, but a 4.49 xFIP implies his ERA is due for some regression. Bassitt isn't a strikeout artist, he averages only 7.7 K/9 for his career, so he'll need to keep his ratios strong to produce for fantasy managers. Bassitt is a quality starter to roster in 12-team leagues who can be deployed when he has a good matchup. That won't be the case in his next start against the mighty Dodgers.
