View More NewsShota Imanaga dominates Red Sox, Cubs cruise to 7-1 victory
Shota Imanaga delivered a stellar performance, allowing just one earned run on five hits and one walk while striking out seven over 6 1/3 innings in Friday's 7-1 win over the Red Sox.
Fantasy Impact
This outing further cements Imanaga's status as a top-tier fantasy option, lowering his ERA to an impressive 0.98 and maintaining a WHIP of 0.80 through five starts. His consistent strikeout ability, evidenced by a 9.1 K/9 rate and a 9.33 strikeout-to-walk ratio, makes him a must-start in all formats. Fantasy managers should continue to ride his hot streak, as his low BABIP of 0.227 suggests some luck, but his elite skills are the primary driver of his success.
