Chris Bassitt Strikes Out Nine in Win
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Chris Bassitt was solid on Thursday, tossing 5 ⅔ innings of three-run ball and picking up his eighth win of the season in a 8-5 victory over the New York Yankees. Bassitt did allow eight hits and three walks, but was able to escape with limited damage, partially due to his nine punchouts. The 36-year-old veteran has been decent this year, going 8-4 with a 4.32 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, and 102 strikeouts in 100 IP. The numbers are a little inflated by his last start, an eight-run disaster against the Boston Red Sox, but other than that he has been his usual reliable self. He should still be rostered in most formats, but is pretty matchup dependent and is prone to bad outings once in a while. Bassitt will look for good results next Tuesday in Chicago against the White Sox, a matchup in which he should be started in all fantasy leagues.
