The Toronto Blue Jays have turned around after a tough stretch and are riding a four-game winning streak into Saturday night&#8217;s showdown with the LA Angels.

While Chris Bassitt looked shaky to start, he settled down last night nicely and helped lead the Jays to a big victory. Bo Bichette was the hero mashing a three-run homer in the top of the seventh inning that carried the Jays to the win.
While we saw Bassitt&#8217;s game settled yesterday, the big question is if Jose Berrios can settle his down tonight. He&#8217;s been far from what the club was hoping for when they made the move to acquire him in a July 2021 deal sending prospects Austin Martin and Simeon Woods Richardson.
He&#8217;ll be in tough against the top of the Angels&#8217; order, but there are more than enough soft spots towards the bottom of the order.
