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.

Chris Bassitt had a rough outing on Friday, allowing four earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings in the Angels' 5-4 loss to the Blue Jays.

Fantasy Impact

This performance slightly mirrors his season-long struggles, as evidenced by his elevated 4.41 ERA and 1.42 WHIP. Despite a decent strikeout rate of 8.7 K/9, his FIP of 4.17 and high BABIP of .330 suggest that he has been somewhat unlucky, yet also prone to mistakes. Fantasy managers should be cautious; while he can rack up strikeouts, his inconsistency in run prevention makes him a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues.

Chris Bassitt endured a tough outing in Saturday's narrow 3-2 loss to the Cubs.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed three earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings. This performance slightly worsens his already middling season stats, nudging his ERA up to 4.34 and his WHIP to 1.44. Given these numbers and his inconsistent season performance, Bassitt remains a risky play in fantasy leagues. His strikeout rate of 8.7 K/9 continues to be a silver lining, but fantasy managers should be cautious, especially in matchups against high-scoring teams.

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.

Chris Bassitt delivered a strong performance in the Blue Jays' 5-2 win over the Orioles on Tuesday. He allowed two earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out nine over seven innings.

Fantasy Impact

This outing was a bright spot in what has been a somewhat inconsistent season for Bassitt, as evidenced by his pre-game ERA of 3.95 and WHIP of 1.41. His ability to strike out nine batters and secure the win helps lower his ERA slightly and should provide a boost to fantasy managers looking for reliable starts. Despite the mixed results this season, performances like this one underscore his potential value in fantasy lineups, particularly in leagues that reward strikeouts and innings pitched.
