The all-star game of professional baseball is over, and the second half of the game will begin on the 29th.

The Pacific League is in a big battle, and attention will be focused on which team will escape for the championship battle.

On the other hand, in the Central League, Yakult is running alone 11 games behind the 2nd place, and it is interesting to see if there will be a team that can wait.

In the Pacific League, the 1st to 5th places are behind the game with only 2.5 games behind.

In the first card of the second half of the game, the leader Softbank and the second-placed Seibu, who are behind by 0.5 games, will play against each other.



So far, which will take the initiative in the three consecutive battles between Softbank, which has the highest batting average in the league, and Seibu, who has the highest ERA in the 12 teams?

It is likely to hold the key to the future championship battle.



In addition, Rakuten, who is behind the leader by two games, will meet with the lowest-ranked Nippon-Ham Fighter, who has been infected with the new coronavirus and has left the coach, Tsuyoshi Shinjo.



In addition, Lotte in 4th place and Orix in 5th place will play against each other.

In the Central League, Yakult is behind the 2nd place by 11 games, but the 2nd to 5th places are 2.5 games behind.



Although Yakult is running alone, it was forced to fight hard at the end of the first half of the game, with six consecutive losses in July due to the effects of a series of infections with the new coronavirus.



In the first card of the second half, Yakult and Hanshin in 2nd place will play against each other.



The Hanshin Tigers suffered nine consecutive losses in the opening season and lost a maximum of 16, but after that they rebounded and brought up to a winning percentage of 50%.

What kind of battle will both teams show in the first three consecutive battles in the second half?

It is likely to affect future league battles.



Hiroshima, which is in second place and wants to close the game behind Yakult, will play against Chunichi, who is at the bottom.



On the other hand, the match between DeNA and Giants scheduled for 29th and 30th was canceled due to the influence of the new coronavirus infection among giants.
