Today / Tonight I like Short & Sweet: 
Toronto Blue Jays @ Cincinnati Reds ML-120 bet365 * 1:10 pm * Bassitt makes me nervous! 
Last Meeting ( Aug 21, 2024 ) Cincinnati 11, Toronto 7
Toronto Blue Jays sluggers George Springer and Bo Bichette have been swinging hot bats since the All-Star break.
Unfortunately for the Blue Jays, right-hander Chris Bassitt hasn't been as fortunate with his recent results from the mound.
Springer and Bichette will look to continue their torrid ways, while Bassitt will aim to bounce back from a winless August, when the visiting Blue Jays play the opener of a three-game series against the Cincinnati Reds on Monday afternoon.
Springer ripped an RBI double among his two hits as Toronto recorded an 8-4 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday to salvage the finale of a three-game series. He is batting .390 (39-for-100) with eight homers and 15 RBIs since the All-Star break.
Bichette, in turn, is hitting .359 (61-for-170) over that same stretch. His career-best 14-game hit streak came to a halt with his 0-for-4 performance on Sunday.
For all of the positives, there are some negatives in the form of a six-game winless stretch for Bassitt (11-7, 4.14 ERA). He hasn't pitched poorly, however, as he has yielded three runs or fewer in five of those six outings.
Bassitt, 36, is 2-1 with a 2.08 ERA in three career appearances (all starts) versus Cincinnati.
The Reds enter this series having snapped a five-game losing skid with a 7-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday.
For now, Cincinnati turns to right-hander Hunter Greene (5-4, 2.81) to start on Monday.
Greene, 26, surrendered five runs (three earned) on six hits -- including two homers -- in five innings of a 7-0 setback to the Los Angeles Dodgers last Monday.
He is 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA in two career appearances (both starts) versus Toronto.
