Ginn/Imanaga listed
Imanaga got figured out by the Brewers on 5/18. They swung early and often in the count as he likes to fill the zone with strikes. Ever since then the league has noticed, and he's been getting shelled since.
Last 3 starts: 11.49 era, 8 hr's, 5 walks, 10 k's, 21 hits.
He's a fly ball pitcher. Winds are pretty strong today at 13 mph out to left center, right down the launch zone for right handed batters vs this southpaw. The A's deploy 6 righties today.
More importantly, it's hot out. And it's humid.
Since May 18, the A's vs LHP as RHB's have hit 41.1% fly balls, with 30.4% line drives, with a 55.4% medium hit, and 33.9% hard hit percentage.
The Cubs bullpen is SPENT. Check the usage for yourselves. It didn't help that Rae basically pulled himself after 68 pitches yesterday, saying he was tired after having a good outing.
Not gonna talk about G.T. Ginn much, as he's been pretty damn good. He keeps the ball on the ground better than Imanaga. But I wouldn't go as far as calling him a ground ball pitcher.
The Cubs have lost 8 straight home games. What kind of HFA has Wrigley provided lately?
The Cubs are 10-13 vs any team from the WEST this year, home or away.
The Cubs have 2 more wins, and 1 less loss than the A's.
Terribly set odds for this game today with everything considered, especially the starters on the bump.
According to scores n odds, 72% of the money is on the cubs, and 71% of the bets. Don't know or care if this is correct or not, it's not a huge part of the handicap. I just looked cause it felt like the Cubs had to of been a public play, for no other reason than they wouldn't get swept I suppose.
Good Luck ![]()
