Toronto Blue Jays DFS SPIN
Chris Bassitt pitched six innings of two-run ball and struck out seven Thursday in a loss to the Tigers. Bassitt’s velocity is getting better and the results are picking up, too. Granted, he was facing a lousy offense tonight, but he got seven strikeouts and allowed just four hits. He still seems like a mediocre play in shallow leagues at the moment, but things are looking up.
Houston Astros DFS SPIN
José Urquidy pitched two-hit ball for six innings in the Astros’ 7-0 shutout of the Pirates on Wednesday. A poor first month from Urquidy could have led to some speculation about a switch to the pen when Lance McCullers Jr. returns, but Urquidy is off to a fine start, having posted a 2.35 ERA in three starts. He settled for two strikeouts today, but he got 15 missed swings and he didn’t allow any balls in play over 100 mph.
