Chiba Lotte 's starting pitcher is Boss pitcher. In his last start (March 29 against Fukuoka Softbank), he gave up 8 hit no walks in 5 innings on 96 pitches Hit by Pitch 5 strike out 4 runs. Will this be his first win in Japan? In the batting lineup, focus on Polanco. He has 29 at-bats in his first seven games of the season, but has yet to Home Run a run. Will the long-range artillery, which has cleared 20 Home Run for three years in a row, wake up?

On the other hand, Tohoku Rakuten started Tatsuki Koja pitcher. In his last start (March 29 against Orix), he threw 71 pitches in five innings, hit 2 Walk 1 strike out 3 runs. I want to get my first win of the season with two good pitches in a row. The offense was held scoreless in 5 hit and lost shutout game in their previous games. In this game, we would like to respond to the strong pitching of the pitcher team.
