00:00Bassett versus Schmidt the line a minus 158 right now at the FanDuel Sportsbook for the New York

00:04Yankees as the favorite and a total that is listed at nine second game of doubleheader we don't know

00:10exactly who's going to be in the lineup and maybe you get an extended game number one which means

00:14tired bullpens and closures used up which aren't available for game number two and maybe finding

00:19some extra shots here but I do think the pitching matchup more susceptible Tom to runs here in game

00:23number two I I do think so as well I you know I'm I've always never been a fan of Chris Bassett

00:30who's expected to be on the mound for the Blue Jays but things may be turning with him you know

00:35he's got a 28.6 strikeout rate to start this year that is his career high he has a career average

00:41of 22.1 now considering the Yankees have a 24.7 strikeout rate versus right-handed pitching this

00:48season this is a spot that Bassett may be able to excel versus a somewhat watered down lineup in

00:55game two versus the Yankees so this is part of what we look at like I said I don't expect both

00:59teams to win so we have a pitcher who may not be sustainable 28.6 but he's playing well right now

01:04on the other side Clark Schmidt he only has the two starts under his belt I think he's a fine pitcher

01:09overall I just don't like looking at a smaller sample size if we look back to last year you know

01:13we're seeing ex-FIPA of 392 which is certainly solid last year it's not amazing but it's solid

01:18enough and against a watered down Blue Jays lineup I think it could be good but man the hitting weather

01:23at Yankees Stadium I think that will that will kind of just trump everything at a certain point
