Boston's starter is TBD and the model substituted a 4.33 ERA / 1.37 WHIP fallback profile, so the pitching side is unresolved. Imanaga's 3.74 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 173.1 IP is the only firm input, and the model's 54.8% CHC comparison is modest. With no market odds to anchor against and near-identical records (88-73 vs 87-74), this stays a lean and the 8.60 total is unusable.
