Don't trust Cubs southpaw Shota Imanaga all that much these days but still much more than I do Minnesota's Zebby Matthews, who is 2-3 with a 6.17 ERA away. I pretty much don't trust anyone named Zebby, so that might be a personal issue. The Twins are four under against lefties and the Cubs 10 over vs. righties.
Twins starter Zebby Matthews owns a 6.17 road ERA and has allowed a 12.5 percent barrel rate. That’s in the bottom 5 percent of MLB. The Cubs’ last eight wins have come by two or more runs. Back Shota Imanaga and Chicago on the run line.
