Chris Bassitt has pitched significantly better in Toronto this season compared to on the road. He will face a depleted Twins lineup short on talent that has a bottom 5 OPS and wOBA over the last 30 days. I like Bassitt’s chances of getting in six innings.

This might be a tough slog down the stretch for the Twins, who look cooked, perhaps a delayed reaction after that trade deadline clear-out. Losses in three straight (by a combined 25-7 score) and in nine of eleven suggests the last month of the season could be unsightly. Yes, big Bailey Ober has pitched a bit better in recent starts, but still carries a 5.05 ERA this season, and keeping pace with the the thunder bats of the Blue Jays looks a difficult task. Chris Bassitt has pitched in a bit of bad luck lately on the Toronto side but usually fares quite well at Rogers Centre, where he's 8-0 this season with a 2.73 ERA. Play Blue Jays on Run Line

Two franchises going in completely opposite directions to be sure after the Blue Jays pummeled the Twins on Monday in Vladimir Guerrero's return to the lineup. He had two RBI. Max Scherzer was good enough on the mound to save the bullpen much wear and tear for Tuesday. I don't like to call pro ballplayers quitters, but the Twins appear to have truly mailed it in just getting clobbered for the most part in the second half. Now they face a guy in Chris Bassitt who is 8-0 at home with a 2.73 ERA. Toronto as a whole is simply on a different level at home.
