Brewers (Sproat) vs Cubs (Imanaga): 5/18/25, 6:40pm

[wiguy94]

Having reliable guys in the pen like Patrick and Sproat who can give you 4 strong innings is so special. It really gives the Brewers the ability to let Sproat pitch through his growing pains. He flashes so much potential and then kind of runs out of gas in the 5th inning where you can turn it to a guy like Drohan to go 2, 3, or even 4 innings.

Coming into the game Imanaga had a 2.32 ERA that was a half a run better than his 2.84 FIP, and a 3.25 xFIP that thought he'd been getting a little lucky at HR suppression in the early going too.

After the game he has a 3.38 ERA | 3.39 FIP | 3.49 xFIP, instant regression.

I took a day off of my senior year in high school to see the Brewers first opener in 1970, the 12-0 loss to the Angels 

You're an OG man. Respect.

Imanaga vs the Brewers before today's game as Fangraphs hasn't updated their splits yet.

5.73 ERA | 5.00 FIP | 4.77 xFIP.  

I could only find his ERA against the Brewers with today's start included and it is at 7.52.  This is not including his playoff start against the Brewers.  He has only two good starts against the Brewers so far in his short career all coming last year.  His first year and his only start against the Brewers he gave up 7 earned runs.  

Everyone but the Brewers he has a 2.97 ERA | 4.03 FIP | 3.92 xFIP.  The Brewers definitely see something at the plate vs Imanaga that other teams or players just don't.  In his career Imanaga has given up a total of 108 ER against the other teams while he has given up a total of 22ER vs the Brewers.  The Brewers have also hit 7 home runs against him.
