Two of the more underrated pitchers in the American League are Cleveland rookie Tanner Bibee and Toronto's nine-year veteran Chris Bassitt. They face each other here and the oddsmaker has set the total too high overlooking just how effective these two pitchers have been.
Bibee has been getting better, not worse. He's 7-1 with a 2.34 ERA in his past 11 outings. One of these starts came against the Blue Jays on August 8. Bibee held the Blue Jays scoreless for seven innings in a 1-0 victory. He allowed six hits with no walks and six strikeouts.
Bassitt has been excellent at home compiling a 6-2 mark with a 2.83 ERA and 0.93 WHIP in a dozen home starts for the Blue Jays this season.
Bassitt draws a weak-hitting Guardians squad that ranks last in homers and 28th in runs. Cleveland is averaging just 2.6 runs per game in its last seven games if you discount an eight-run performance against the Dodgers.
