Tatsuya Imai makes his major league debut against what is likely to be the best team strikeout matchup in MLB this year. Imai struck out three in 3.2 innings on 79 pitches in his final spring outing, so he should have at least five innings in him and with his unique pitching style, I'm betting it takes the Angels some time to begin recognizing his pitches. Imai features a fastball that ranges vastly in velocity and can hit triple digits, while his slider is a major swing and miss threat. He ran a 15%+ swinging strike rate last year in Japan, striking out more than one batter per inning, so if he can complete five innings, this price is enticing for a 6th strikeout.
