Here are his cumulative numbers against Boston in three starts this year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>19.2 innings <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5 runs (2.29 ERA)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>17 strikeouts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>17 hits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Boston&#8217;s current lineup is just 15-for-76 (.197) against Bassitt with a 25% K rate and a .276 SLG. Rafael Devers was recently shut down for the remainder of the season, which certainly helps our cause, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Toronto&#8217;s side of things, the bats really went cold last week. The Jays plated eight runs in the first game of their road trip &#8230; but they scored only nine runs over the ensuing five games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since Aug. 28, the Jays have gone under this run total in 17 of 22 games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Houck, who&#8217;s seventh in the AL in ERA (3.21) has held Toronto&#8217;s current lineup in check. The Jays have just a .176 BA against him in 56 plate appearances, so I doubt their offence will spring back to life tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Since the start of last season, Bassitt has a 2.14 ERA against Boston in five outings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pick made at 1:25 p.m. on 09\/23\/24.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the third time this season, Chris Bassitt and Tanner Houck square off in a matchup between the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox.
