Shota Imanaga Dominates A's with 11 Ks in Cubs Victory
by Matthew Adam | Cubs Correspondent | Tue, Sep 17th 6:09am EDT
Shota Imanaga dazzled on Monday, allowing two earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out 11 over six innings in the Cubs' 9-2 win over the Athletics.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance underscores Imanaga's role as a strikeout artist, now boasting a 9.2 K/9 rate for the season. His ability to maintain a low ERA (3.03) and WHIP (1.03) while posting a strong strikeout-to-walk ratio (6.07) makes him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues. Despite a slightly elevated FIP (3.88), his consistency in limiting base hits (.264 BABIP) and accumulating wins (now 15-3) should keep him high on fantasy radars. Fantasy managers should continue to view Imanaga as a top-tier starting option, especially in leagues that reward strikeouts.
