The PLAY: Total Under 9.0 (-123) C Schmidt (RHP), C Bassitt (RHP) Must Start
While it's been a high-scoring series, Thursday's finale should feature some quality pitching. These same starters opposed each other back in April. Both pitched well; the final score was 5-1. While Bassitt is off a forgettable outing at Boston, he's been much better at home (5-0, 2.60 ERA) and he's had plenty of past success vs. the Yankees. In fact, he's 3-1 with a stingy 1.63 ERA in six career starts against them. That ERA dips to 1.38 in five starts since 2023. Schmidt is coming off a great June. In five starts, he had a 1.95 ERA and a dominant 0.77 WHIP. Schmidt was also sharp in that April game and he has a 2.78 ERA in seven career appearances (4 starts) vs Toronto. Expect a relatively low-scoring affair.
