MLB:
Which Cubs pitcher is best positioned to anchor the rotation in a short series, given Imanaga's form and Horton's rise?
Qwiket AI:
Imanaga likely anchors Game 1 with Horton as a flexible follow-up, offering rest for the bullpen. If Imanaga thrives, Horton’s multi-inning capability provides a safety net in Games 2 or 3. Counsell’s plan emphasizes leveraging lefty-lefty matchups and keeping relief arms fresh for a potential third game.
