View More NewsShota Imanaga shines again, Cubs top Marlins 5-3
Shota Imanaga delivered another strong outing, allowing two earned runs on five hits and no walks while striking out five over six innings in Saturday's 5-3 victory over the Marlins.
Fantasy Impact
This performance continues a stellar start to the 2024 season for Imanaga, who now boasts a minuscule 0.84 ERA and a 0.75 WHIP through five starts. His ability to maintain a high strikeout-to-walk ratio (10.50) and a solid K/9 rate (8.9) makes him a highly valuable asset in fantasy leagues. Given his consistent performance and the underlying metrics like a low BABIP (.224) and excellent FIP (2.18), Imanaga appears poised to sustain his success. Fantasy managers should consider him a must-start in all formats, expecting continued dominance on the mound.
