Bassitt was brilliant once, allowing one run in seven innings in a win over the White Sox in a first-round game, and he was knocked around once, allowing three runs in four innings in a loss to the Astros in the second round.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Canha, Bassitt\u2019s teammate since 2015, first on the A\u2019s and now with the Mets, has witnessed many of the highs and the lows firsthand. During those peaks and valleys, Bassitt has remained steady.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s pretty goofy,\u201d Canha said before the Braves homered three times off Scherzer. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t take himself too seriously. I think he has his own way of getting locked in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bassitt had not pitched in the postseason before 2020 and has not returned to the postseason since. The Mets\u2019 No. 3 starter will pitch in the biggest regular-season game of his life Sunday, matched up against Braves righty Charlie Morton.<\/p>\n<p>In two starts against the Braves this season, Bassitt has allowed four runs in 13 innings (2.77 ERA).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBassitt\u2019s a good starter, always a good competitor,\u201d said Atlanta\u2019s Matt Olson, another former Athletic.<\/p>\n<p>He will be rested because his last start came on Sept. 23, when he allowed two runs in eight innings in Oakland. The extra rest could be helpful for a pitcher who has started a career-high 29 games this season and thrown a career-high 179 innings, in which he has pitched to a 3.27 ERA.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a tremendous opportunity here in front of us,\u201d Canha said before the Mets slipped into second. \u201cI think this is going to be fun.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
