Probable starting pitchers
Chris Bassitt will take the mound for the Blue Jays and is eyeing a bounceback after disastrous debut with the club. Virtually nothing worked for the right-hander in his season debut, as he went just 3.1 innings and surrendered nine earned runs on 10 hits without striking out a single batter. Bassitt has been a reliable, workhorse-type starter over the years, so there is still hope that he can become the solid No. 3 pitcher the Blue Jays hoped he'd become when they signed him to a three-year contract.
Opposing him in Friday night's matchup will be left-hander Patrick Sandoval. The 26-year-old has quietly been breaking out over the course of the past two years, turning himself into one of the better southpaws in the league. Last year, he had a 2.91 ERA across 27 starts and 148+ innings. His 2023 debut went much smoother than Bassitt's did, as he went five innings and allowed just one run on two hits, earning the victory in the process.
