Chicago Cubs vs Cincinnati Reds: Shota Imanaga Under 1.5 Pitcher - Walks (-133)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The Chicago Cubs have been hitting well against left-handed pitchers, so facing Shota Imanaga could be a challenge for him. He has a solid chance to keep his walks low since he usually stays focused on the strike zone. The Cubs have a strong home record, which could add pressure on Imanaga to perform well. On the flip side, the Cincinnati Reds also struggle a bit against lefties, so there's a chance this could be a tight game. The biggest risk here is that Imanaga might face a few tough batters who could draw walks. Overall, betting on him to have under 1.5 walks seems like a reasonable choice given his skills and the matchup.
