Model Analysis

Imanaga's splits are the whole story here, and the market is pretending they don't exist. He's a lefty who handles left-handed bats just fine and gets hit hard by righties, which is inconvenient when Boston's lineup is stacked with the exact profile that has punished him all year, led by a Roman Anthony who's running a .412 xwOBA against right-handers and slides right into the platoon slot. Add a park that plays up on runs but suppresses the homers Imanaga is prone to, and the game script tilts toward a grinding, contact-heavy night rather than the swing-for-the-fences kind he survives. Getting the better team at plus money in that spot is the pitch, and +106 is generous for a coin flip Chicago shouldn't be favored in to begin with.
