"He has been worth 1.5 bWAR throwing 144 innings this season with 142 strikeouts, a 1.337 WHIP and 4.18 ERA. However, his splits have been incredibly drastic that you'd think Bassitt was a completely different person depending on where he has been pitching. In Toronto, Bassitt has pitched like an ace. He's 8-0 in 14 starts with a 2.73 ERA. He has 88 strikeouts in 82 innings pitched, holding batters to a .244 batting average against and .309 OBP."
"But on the road, it's been a different story. He owns a 6.10 ERA in 13 games (12 starts). In those outings, Bassitt has allowed 42 earned runs in 62 innings pitched with only 54 strikeouts. His opponents are batting .295 with a .351 OBP against him on the road. What is up with the home and road splits of Blue Jays' starter Chris Bassitt?"
"In the other nine starts he has made on the road, Bassitt's numbers are much closer in line with what he has been able to accomplish at home. He's pitched into the sixth inning in eight of those nine starts and he's allowed just 23 earned runs over 52 innings for a 3.98 ERA, with 45 strikeouts. He hasn't given up more than four runs in any of those starts, with at least five strikeouts or more in five of those games."
Chris Bassitt, a 36-year-old right-hander, has compiled 1.5 bWAR across 144 innings with 142 strikeouts, a 1.337 WHIP and a 4.18 ERA. Home performance in Toronto: 8-0 in 14 starts with a 2.73 ERA, 88 strikeouts in 82 innings, .244 opponents' batting average and .309 OBP. Road performance: 6.10 ERA in 13 games (12 starts), 42 earned runs in 62 innings, 54 strikeouts, .295 opponents' average and .351 OBP. Three particularly poor road outings drive most of the disparity; excluding them, nine road starts yield 23 earned runs in 52 innings (3.98 ERA) with 45 strikeouts. In August he recorded a 3.80 ERA with nine earned runs in 21 innings and 21 strikeouts.
