For today’s game, Chris Bassitt is up to pitch for the Blue Jays against Ronel Blanco for the Astros. Interestingly to note, the Blue Jays are favored with a -150 moneyline price, hinting at the possibility of some high-scoring action, with the game’s total sitting at nine runs.

Bassitt was back to his old form in his last outing against the New York Mets, and we’re hoping to see the same in this game. Notably, he took a break due to the birth of his child but is now back on the mound with the team. This game’s high total suggests the expectation of plenty of runs, despite a lack of high-scoring games in this series so far.

However, at this price range, Houston (+130) should not be disregarded as a live underdog. This dangerous lineup couldn’t comeback in the last game against Toronto’s ace, but Bassitt isn’t Gausman. The Astros at plus money seems to be a value play for this game.

He might just be the player to watch in this game.
