Why Chris Bassitt deserves to start an ALCS game more than Max Scherzer or a bullpen game

The Seattle Mariners found a way to silence the Toronto Blue Jays' bats that were scorching hot in the ALDS. That solution was Bryce Miller, who gave up a lead-off home run to George Springer on the first pitch of the game, but then only gave up one more hit and three walks through six innings.

The Blue Jays now find themselves trailing in a series. Manager John Schneider said rookie Trey Yesavage will start Game 2, with Shane Bieber in Game 3. The Game 4 starter is still uncertain, though Chris Bassitt deserves the nod.
