Could Peralta and Imanaga’s Unbreakable Streak Leave Opponents Scoreless Again?

We got a win on the diamond yesterday and it was nice to just have the one play to worry about. With the NHL winding down and the NBA coming to a close in the next month-ish as well, baseball will be the primary sport to write about for almost all of June, July, and August. Then we get back into football season. I have two plays for us today and the first one is here between the Cubs and the Brewers. 

This is the best Cubs team that we’ve seen probably since they won the World Series. At least they are off to the best start since that season. They currently sit at 21-13 and are even good on the road with a 12-6 record away from the Friendly Confines. That doesn’t mean that the Cubs are unbeatable or on the path to win another title, but as a Cubs fan, it is nice seeing them have a real offense and a pitching staff that seems capable of keeping them in almost every game. We will see what moves they make to strengthen their weaknesses after missing out on multiple pieces and being a seller at most deadlines the past few years. Before we focus on that, let’s get through today as Shota Imanaga takes the hill. Imanaga is 3-1 with a 2.77 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP. He has been the anchor of this Cubs rotation for two years now. He has made seven starts this season and has just two quality outings. He also has two bad outings where he allowed five earned runs in five innings. It seems as though the Brewers only faced him once last season and they got five hits in 18 at-bats against him.
