Chris Bassitt Stumbles Against Athletics
by Jesse Garcia | Blue Jays Correspondent | Sun, Aug 11th 8:12pm EDT
Chris Bassitt struggled mightily in Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Athletics, surrendering seven earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out five over four innings.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing marks a significant deviation from his otherwise steady season, where he maintained a 4.30 ERA and a 1.44 WHIP across 24 starts. The increase in his ERA and WHIP after this game could raise concerns among fantasy managers about his reliability down the stretch, especially considering the inconsistency highlighted by a high BABIP of .333. While his strikeout rate remains decent, this performance might hint at underlying issues or just an off day. Fantasy managers should monitor his next few outings closely to determine if adjustments are needed in their strategy.
