(903) San Diego Padres at (904) Chicago Cubs
4% Chicago Cubs -140 R Vasquez (RHP), S Imanaga (LHP) Must Start
This play is about the Cubs outstanding pitcher Shota Imanaga as he is off to a 5-0 start with a 0.78 ERA. WOW ! Look at these numbers. In 5 starts Imanaga pitched 34.2 innings giving a a measly 3 earned runs. Not only that, he is averaging close to one strike out per inning with 35 while only giving up 4 free passes. In Randy Vasquez's two starts he is 0-1 with a 5.87 ERA. Vasquez is in his 2nd big league season as he appeared in 11 games for the Yankees last year starting 5 of them. Jump on Imanaga while you can, because pretty soon the odds makers are going to have inflated odds when he is starting. The Cubs your 4% “Beat Down” for Tuesday.
