Shota Imanaga's Mixed Outing in Cubs' 5-3 Victory Over Giants
by Chase Davis | Cubs Correspondent | Fri, Jun 28th 8:53am EDT
Shota Imanaga delivered a decent performance, allowing three earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three over six innings in Thursday's 5-3 win against the Giants.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a slight dip from his season averages, particularly in strikeouts and earned runs allowed. However, his season-long metrics, including a solid 3.07 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP, suggest that this game is more of a minor blip rather than a trend. Fantasy managers should continue to view Imanaga as a reliable option in their rotations, given his ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (8.9 K/9) and a commendable strikeout-to-walk ratio (6.00). His performance in this game, while not his best, still contributes positively to a winning effort, reinforcing his value in fantasy lineups.
