Saitama Seibu started with Mitsunari Takahashi pitcher. In his last start on the 15th, he went 6 hit 3 Walk 5 runs in 6 innings, and he pitched 11 days apart. His longest inning this season is seven times, and his lower than usual strike out rate of 3.60 is a concern. Can you regain the original pitch in your hometown? Also pay attention to Takuya Hiruma player, who is also from Gunma. He's batting .167 in his last four games, but he wants to get results and stay in the competition.

On the other hand, Tohoku Rakuten started Uchi Seiryu pitcher. He has started three games so far this season, has also pitched as a reliever and has been swinging his arm in a variety of situations. He started the last game against Fukuoka Softbank, but was removed after 1.2 innings due to a dangerous pitch. Will he be able to play a role in this pitch and lead to win?
