In professional baseball, the interleague game, which was canceled due to the influence of the new coronavirus last season, will be held for the first time in two years from the 25th.
The exchange game will start on the 25th at the headquarters of the Central League, and each team will play 3 games with 6 teams from different leagues, for a total of 18 games.
It was held for the first time in two years because it was canceled for the first time last season due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection.
On the 25th, the Central League leader Hanshin will play against Lotte, who is third in the Pacific League, and Chunichi, who is fifth in the Central League, will show overwhelming strength with a maximum win rate of eight times in the exchange game. Play against the leader Softbank.
In addition, Giants and Rakuten, Yakult and Nippon-Ham, DeNA and Orix will play.
On the other hand, Hiroshima vs. Seibu decided on the morning of the 25th that 12 teams would discuss with an extraordinary executive committee and decide whether to play a match in response to the outbreak of a group of infected people in the Hiroshima team. I will.
In addition, in consideration of the influence of the new coronavirus, if the entire schedule is not completed by the 17th of next month, which is the preliminary day, the team with the highest winning rate at that time will be the "winner".
However, on the condition that "15 games or more have been digested and the winning percentage is 50% or more", even if the team has less than 15 games, the undigested games will be added as a loss and if the winning percentage exceeds the 1st place team, the team will be called " "Winning".
In the total number of wins between leagues in the past 15 exchange games, the Pacific League has won for 10 consecutive years, and the Central League has won only once in 2009.
In addition, the Pacific League has 12 times and the Central League has 3 times, which is far behind the team with the highest winning rate.
We are paying attention to whether the Pacific League will show its strength or the Central League will show its will and rewind.
