Figures.

The Cubs won, 8-3, but Shota Imanaga was pushed back to Saturday after Thursday’s rainout in Chicago.

Stitches, never one to falsify his balance sheet, refuses to take credit for the win.

We will, however, take Imanaga in whichever game he pitches in Saturday’s doubleheader.

At last look, The Fish will counter with Roddery Munoz, who will be making his MLB debut.

The 6-foot-2 Muniz was called up after going 0-3 for the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp.

Play $50 on the Cubs.

Houston, you have a problem.

The Astros, last place in the AL West behind the Oakland Pathetics, can’t pitch.

Ronel Blanco hasn’t been the problem.

Blanco blanked the Blue Jays and the Rangers for 15 innings before giving up two runs to Texas in his last start.

The ’Stros are in Washington.

The Nats’ Trevor Williams hasn’t lost, either, allowing six runs over 15 ²/₃.

Taking the Astros and Blanco for $100.

Still down -154 kessingers.
