- Analysis
- After sweeping the Houston Astros, the Chicago Cubs are looking very good to start the season. They now turn to the Japanese phenom in Shota Imanaga (3-0, 0.84 ERA,) who has yet to lose a game in the Major's. Not only are the Cubs a better hitting team, but I believe that they have the better pitcher in this matchup. Kutter Crawford (1-0, 0.66 ERA,) has been great. However, I don't expect him to keep it up as he's never really even had a very good season in short his career so far. Don't get me wrong, I do believe that Crawford will have improved numbers from last year. But, the Cubs should be able to figure him out today. Boston is coming off a series loss against Cleveland. I believe that they will continue to trend downwards as the season progresses. Chicago is on a roll. Expect another gem from Imanaga and another win for the Cubbies in the first game of this weekend series.
Score Prediction: 6-2 Cubs
