Professional Baseball Pacific League Today to Climax Series November 14, 6:27
The climax series of professional baseball and the Pacific League will start in Fukuoka on the 14th, and Softbank, which won the league for the first time in three years, and Lotte, who has advanced for the first time in four years, will play against each other.
Due to the influence of the new coronavirus, this year's climax series will be held only in the Pacific League, and the team that won the first three will advance to the Japan Series.
The match will be between Softbank, which won the league title for the first time in three years and has the advantage of one win, and Lotte, who has advanced for the first time in four years, with Softbank 11 wins, 12 losses and one draw in this season's regular season. The only one who lost.
On the 13th, the starting pitchers for both teams were announced, with Kodai Senga, the ace pitcher of Softbank, and Manabu Mima, the veteran pitcher of Lotte, on the mound.
Pitcher Senga won three titles this season: the most wins, the best ERA, and the most smashing strikes, with a ERA of 2.42 against Lotte.
On the other hand, pitcher Mima won the team's top 10 wins, and the Softbank game was a big win with 5 wins and 1 loss.
Since low scores are expected to develop due to the pitching of both pitchers, Softbank can turn to Yuki Yanagita, who is the main player, with a chance, or Lotte lacks foreign players and there are few batters who can expect long hits. The key to victory or defeat is whether or not you can play baseball, which involves tricks such as bunts and connects the characteristics.
