Chicago Cubs: Shota Imanaga predicted to earn postseason honor despite implosion vs Brewers
Entering play on Monday, Chicago Cubs left-handed starter Shota Imanaga was 4-3 with a 2.32 ERA. Indeed, as starting pitcher after starting pitcher went down with injury, Imanaga was a stabilizing force in Chicago’s rotation. Still, many worried that he could not do it alone and have urged the Cubs to add more starting pitching.
Their loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday night was an indicator as to why. Imanaga gave up eight runs in 4.1 innings and saw his ERA balloon to 3.38. Of course, this is not a terrible ERA at all; but his implosion against Chicago’s primary division rival highlights the concerns that many have regarding the Cubs.
Chicago Cubs starter Shota Imanaga predicted to be named Second Team All MLB
On Tuesday, MLB analysts released their first predictions for the All MLB teams. Despite his poor outing against the Brewers, they still believe Imanaga should earn a spot on the Second Tea, All MLB:
“Imanaga was hit hard by the Brewers on Monday at Wrigley Field, giving up eight runs over 4 1/3 innings. But he pitched at least six innings and yielded two or fewer runs in six of his previous seven outings.”
Looking at the larger picture, Imanaga has been everything the Cubs have needed and more since they signed him to a one-year qualifying offer worth $22 million.
His future with the Cubs, though, will depend on how he performs for the rest of the season. If he can stay healthy and avoid anymore poor outings such as the one he had on Monday, he will likely be retain by Chicago. Prior to his loss against the Brewers, Imanaga was widely considered to be a NL All-Star and Cy Young candidate.
