Chicago will send Shota Imanaga to the mound as they head into the MLB All-Star break.

If their past match-ups are any indication, Goldschmidt sees Imanaga well. 

In seven plate appearances against Imanaga last season, Goldschmidt had three hits, including a home run and a double on Aug. 1.

Goldschmidt comes into the game on a heater, slashing .361/.378/.556 with seven doubles in 37 plate appearances in July.

As he’s done his entire career, Goldschmidt is smashing southpaw pitchers this season. 

In 104 plate appearances against lefties, Goldschmidt is hitting .416/.500/.719 with five homers.

His .416 average leads all hitters with at least 100 plate appearances against left-handers, and his 1.219 on-base plus slugging is the second-highest behind Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh.

Unsurprisingly, Imanaga is much worse when he doesn’t have the platoon advantage. 

Imanaga has allowed nine of his 10 home runs and 16 of his 20 extra-base hits to right-handed batters this season.

Righties are slugging .426 against him versus just .236 for lefties. 

I’m betting Goldschmidt to head into the All-Star break on a good note.
