Bassitt faces the shell of the team that used to be the Twins. Minnesota went through a massive sell-off at the trade deadline just about a month ago, and the results are pretty much what you would expect.
The Twins are 8-15 so far in August with a -30 run differential. They have the second-lowest batting average, the fifth-lowest OPS, and the 10th-highest strikeout rate during that period.
Not many in this Twins lineup have much experience against C Bass, so he should be able to keep them off balance with his absurd pitch mix. I’m taking the Under on 4.5 hits allowed for Bassitt. Something he’s done in four of his last eight starts.
