Toronto Blue Jays Analysis

Chris Bassitt has been especially impressive, with only 34 runs allowed in 80.1 innings and 78 strikeouts. His low Hard-Hit Rate, Walk Rate, and expected ERA make it difficult for opponents to generate offense against him. However, despite Bassitt's success, the team's lineup has been struggling to score runs, averaging only 4.25 per game. While George Springer and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. have been performing well, the rest of the batting order has been inconsistent. As a result, only six active batters have been able to consistently produce. The team's overall power ranking is 3, with a ranking of #16 for offense, #19 for defense, and a current record of 38-33. In their last three matchups against Arizona, the Toronto Blue Jays went 1-2.

Facing Brandon Pfaadt, who has a history of giving up runs, the Blue Jays have the opportunity to score consistently with key players like Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and George Springer leading the charge. Defensively, pitcher Chris Bassitt is expected to deliver solid innings, allowing the bullpen to maintain control and secure a comfortable lead. Overall, the Blue Jays are positioned to secure a victory with a strong showing at home.
