Episode notes
Imanaga's Sweeper Adjustment Matters
- Shota Imanaga has reinvented his pitch mix, notably increasing sweeper usage with strong recent results.
- He looks like a reliable low-end SP2 with improved strikeout and walk rates over the past four starts.
Hold Priester, Mind Matchups
- Hold Quinn Priester; don't overreact to one control outing but be cautious about matchups (D-backs, Blue Jays).
- Use him in points leagues; in roto, treat him as a fringe option due to ratio risk.
Bench Gore For Tough Yankee Start
- Sit MacKenzie Gore for bland matchups and control risk against the Yankees next week.
- Consider starting him in week 24 when Marlins and Cubs matchups look much friendlier.
