Read original reasoning

Vázquez is 0-for-4 career vs Imanaga across BOTH 2024 (2 PA, .000/.000) and 2025 (2 PA, .000/.000) — consistent pattern, not stale data. Imanaga is a LHP with 9.4 K/9 in 2026; Vázquez's vL OPS of .800 season-wide does not overcome two full seasons of futility against this specific arm. At -103 (50.8% implied), there is embedded value given the BvP data.
