Hanshin Tigers vs Yokohama DeNA BayStars Game Analysis
Hanshin Tigers
Hanshin Tigers' Jeremy Beasley (3 wins, 1 loss, 1.78 ERA) will attempt his 4th win of the season after losing due to catcher defensive issues. Beasley had recorded 6 runs in 4.1 innings against SoftBank and was sent to the minor leagues before returning. He showed strong performances in the minor leagues and was outstanding at home with 1 run in 20 innings. In the previous game, they managed 5 runs against Adowa and Kurohara, including a solo home run by Yusuke Oyama, but catcher Umeno's blocking mistakes cost them the game. The bullpen, apart from Suguru Iwazaki, lacks reliable pitchers, which is problematic.
Yokohama DeNA BayStars
Yokohama DeNA BayStars secured a winning series with Taira's shutout pitching, and Andre Jackson (4 wins, 5 losses, 3.53 ERA) will attempt his 5th win of the season. Jackson pitched 7 innings with 3 hits and 1 run against Chunichi on the road and has fully recovered after the recent interleague games. He also recorded 6.2 innings with 4 hits and no runs against Hanshin on the road. In the previous game, they scored 3 runs by targeting Yahure and Rodriguez, and they have a promising away win rate of .667. Additionally, thanks to Taira, the bullpen has had a rest which is positive.
Game Outlook
Hanshin missed the opportunity for a series sweep. Considering the pitching abilities of Beasley and Jackson, a close game is expected until the middle innings. With both teams' bullpens recently shaking, DeNA seems slightly superior in the later innings. Yokohama DeNA BayStars, with their stronger finishing capabilities, are closer to winning.
