The Toronto Blue Jays have emerged as a strong contender in Major League Baseball, particularly due to their impressive starting pitchers, who lead the league with a remarkable 2.38 ERA. This performance was highlighted in a recent game against the Boston Red Sox, where Chris Bassitt limited the opposing team to just three hits through six innings before exiting. Despite a late run, Bassitt's overall contributions this season, including a striking 0.98 ERA across 18 1/3 innings, underscore his significant turnaround from a disappointing previous year. Bowden Francis also made a strong case for the rotation with solid outings, contributing to a potent starting lineup alongside veterans José Berríos and Kevin Gausman. However, while the starters shine, the bullpen's inconsistency has raised concerns, as seen in their recent extra-inning loss, where defensive mishaps and wild pitches marred an otherwise promising performance.
