Cubs lefty Shota Imanaga headlines tonight's MLB Player Props as he will benefit from strong winds blowing toward home plate at Wrigley Field.
Shota Imanaga's incredible start to his Cubs tenure was never going to be sustainable. But there's good reason to back the southpaw tonight, including a strong wind blowing in from the Wrigley Field ivy that will keep his fly balls in the park.After an incredible start to his MLB career, Shota Imanaga has struggled with his consistency over the last couple of months.
had a sizzling 0.84 ERA but that number has surged to 5.03 in his last 11 outings. However, even during that recent cold stretch, he allowed fewer than 1.5 earned runs in five of 11.. The Twins have an MLB-best OPS of .799 at home but that number dips to .716 on the road. They should have major issues hitting in this away contest with the wind at Wrigley Field projected to blow toward the infield at more than 27 mph.
Imanaga's biggest weakness has been his tendency to allow fly balls, sitting in the bottom 10th percentile in ground-ball rate. However, the fly balls he gives up today will get swallowed up by the wind at Wrigley. With the O/U for the full game opening at just 6, the u1.5 earned runs for Imanaga at +130 makes plenty of sense.
The four-time Silver Slugger is fourth in the majors in slugging percentage .598 and his expected slugging percentage is even higher at an incredible .674. His overall slugging percentage vs. righties is a robust .611, which will bode well today when theSoto has been red-hot, slashing .340/.438/.709 over his last 25 games and I expect that sizzling play to continue tonight.
