【This Season's Head-to-Head Record】Rakuten Eagles (2nd in East) vs Oisix Niigata (5th in East) 7 wins, 9 losses

For the Rakuten Eagles, we want to focus on Shion Otsubo. Yesterday, he showed great performance by hitting a game-tying hit, and he is in good form with 6 hits in 19 At Bats for a .316 batting average over the last 6 games. In his rookie season, he has appeared in 75 games so far, maintaining steady results with a .262 batting average and 6 Home Runs.

Haruki Nishikawa has a .356 on-base percentage in the farm league. Expectations are high for Koshiro Wada, who is currently on a three-game hit streak.

At The Fighters Kamagaya Stadium, the 13th round match between Hokkaido Nippon-Ham and Chiba Lotte Marines will be held from 13:00.

【This Season's Head-to-Head Record】Hokkaido Nippon-Ham (1st in East) vs. Chiba Lotte Marines (3rd in East) 6 wins, 5 losses, 1 draw

The focus for Hokkaido Nippon-Ham is Haruki Nishikawa, who recorded 2 hit in the game on the 6th. In the farm league this season, he has a batting average of .218 over 35 games, but has marked an on-base percentage of .356. He will be looking to improve his condition and show the pride of a veteran. Additionally, after today's game, a retirement ceremony is scheduled for Takuya Nakashima, who has shared many joys and sorrows with him.

On the other hand, for Chiba Lotte Marines, Koshiro Wada continues to make an appeal with his bat. In August, he recorded three multi-hit games in 9 appearances. Currently, he has hits in three consecutive games, maintaining a high farm batting average of .315 this season. Can he maintain this good form and break into the outfielder competition in the final stages of the season?

Ho Naito reached double-digit Home Runs for the first time in his career in the previous game.

At Tondabayashi The Buffaloes Stadium, the 31st game between the Orix Buffaloes and the Hanshin Tigers will be held from 13:00.

[Season Head-to-Head Record] Orix Buffaloes (2nd in West) vs. Hanshin Tigers (3rd in West) 12 wins, 14 losses, 4 draws

Orix Buffaloes' 4th-year player Ho Naito showed a great performance with 3 hit and 1 RBI, including Home Run in two consecutive games on August 30th, but his hitting had stopped since then with no hit in 5 appearances. However, in the previous day's game, he hit his 10th solo Home Run, reaching double-digit Home Run for the first time in his career. Although he is still struggling with a .217 batting average, he will look to improve his form further from here.

Development Draft Pick No. 2 Ayumu Ezaki is currently on a three-game hit streak.

At Tamahome Stadium Chikugo, the 31st round between Fukuoka Softbank and Hiroshima will be held from 13:00.

【This season's head-to-head record】Fukuoka Softbank (1st in West) vs. Hiroshima (4th in West) 19 wins, 11 losses

For Fukuoka Softbank, expectations are high for the development draft 2nd round rookie, Ayumu Ezaki, who is currently on a three-game hitting streak. In yesterday's game, he showed great spirit, such as snatching a game-tying RBI infield hit in the bottom of the 8th inning with two outs and runners on second and third while trailing by one run. Despite being in his first year out of high school, he has been increasing his playing opportunities since August, and he hopes to make further leaps with daily contributions.
