Advanced statistics indicate that Chris Bassitt could regress some as the season winds down, but using Bassitt as a streamer gives fantasy owners the option to pick and choose their spots with him. His 2.60 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and fastball differential have made the former White Sox farmhand a valuable pitcher for the next month or so. Bassitt gets a home start against Tampa Bay.

The Rays own a respectable team WAR of 9.2, but they're in the ballpark offensively as the Mets and Mariners (not a ringing endorsement). The Rays have also won one road series since the beginning of July. That series was against the White Sox, one of the worst home offenses in baseball (3.46 runs per home game).
