Chris Bassitt Stifles Sox, But Jays Fall Short
by Jesse Garcia | Blue Jays Correspondent | Thu, Aug 29th 7:38am EDT
Chris Bassitt delivered a strong performance, allowing just one earned run on five hits and one walk while striking out nine over 6.2 innings in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to the Red Sox.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the loss, Bassitt's outing was a bright spot, showcasing his ability to control the game and rack up strikeouts. His season has been a mix of highs and lows, reflected in his 4.27 ERA and 1.40 WHIP, but performances like this highlight his potential value in fantasy leagues, especially in categories like strikeouts and ERA. However, his win-loss record continues to suffer from poor run support, a factor that limits his appeal in win-dependent formats. Moving forward, Bassitt remains a viable fantasy option, particularly in deeper leagues or as a streaming choice against favorable matchups.
