[Season Series Record] Chiba Lotte Marines (3rd in the East) vs. Hokkaido Nippon-Ham (1st in the East): 4 wins, 4 losses
Chiba Lotte Marines 's Yu Tatematsu is currently in excellent form, and he's definitely one to watch. In his last 10 games, he's had 12 hits in 26 At Bat hit, for a batting average of .462. In the game The Giants on the 9th, he had 3 hit 2 RBI, including Home Run since June 28th. He'll be looking to continue making a strong impression in order to earn his first call-up to the first team this season.
On the other hand, Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Ruan Otsuka had a stellar performance in the game against Ruan Ohtsuka Rakuten Eagles on the 9th, recording 3 hit and 3 RBI. He hit Home Run in the first inning and then delivered a game-tying RBI single in the bottom of the 8th inning when his team was trailing by one run. He is currently on a five-game hit; can he maintain this good form?
Shun Akiyama was outstanding in the previous game with 3 hit and 4 RBI.

In the previous game, he hit sweep doble in his first at-bat, and then hit another RBI single in his third at-bat, finishing with 3 hit 4 RBI. With Masayuki Kuwahara returning to action on the 5th, the question is whether Akiyama can put himself forward in the competition for an outfielder.
