I searched this position in the CEGT database and it seems unbalanced based on
the results.

black scored

+22 -7 =4 in this opening

I did not do statistical analysis of the rating of the opponents but even if
black was better in average it does not justify this big score.

Here the result is 8-8 and 6 draws.
