I’ll stay with the Jays. Bassitt has done well in his two starts so far this year. with just one earned run in 12.2 total frames on 12 hits and two walks. Bassitt is coming off a no-decision versus the Mets on April 5 despite posting 6.2 clean frames, four hits, and no walks. As for Buehler, he got a shaky win over the Cardinals in his last start on April 4, giving up five earned on seven hits and a walk in 5.0 innings. That makes nine earned runs in 9.1 innings total.
The Blue Jays got a stellar outing from starter Kevin Gausman in the Wednesday win. Gausman put up 8.0 clean frames with four hits, no walks, and 10 Ks. Jeff Hoffman and Nick Sandlin finished with 3.0 innings, no hits, no earned, one walk, and four strikeouts between them. I’d like to see the bats get moving in the finale, but it should be another good game.
