야쿠르트 스왈로즈 vs 요코하마 DeNA 베이스타즈 경기 분석
야쿠르트 스왈로즈 경기 리뷰
With the concentration of the batting lineup, the Yakult Swallows succeeded in their winning streak and now challenge for three consecutive wins with Kojiro Yoshimura (5 wins, 5 losses, 3.01). Yoshimura pitched 5.1 scoreless innings in the away game against Hanshin on the 9th and quickly bounced back from the previous 4 innings and 6 earned runs loss against DeNA. This season, the Swallows have 2 wins and 1 loss with an ERA of 4.80 against DeNA on the road, with a concerning opponents’ batting average of .354, so whether they can bounce back at home is crucial. In the Tuesday game, Yakult scored 4 runs by targeting the Chunichi pitching staff, and it’s particularly positive that the concentration of their batting lineup has clearly improved at home. The revival of Munetaka Murakami's hitting power will likely play a key role. The bullpen, which held down 7 innings with just 1 hit and no runs, has been doing its job well.
요코하마 DeNA 베이스타즈 경기 리뷰
The Yokohama DeNA BayStars, whose batting lineup struggled leading to a complete defeat, will start Andre Jackson (4 wins, 5 losses, 3.10) to regain control. Jackson showed strong form with 6 innings and 1 earned run in the away game against Yomiuri on the 12th and has now pitched 6 innings or more with 1 earned run or less for 5 consecutive games. The fact that Jackson secured a win against Yakult with 1 earned run over 6 innings at home raises expectations. In Wednesday's game, the DeNA lineup was blanked with 7 hits against Masato Morishita and ultimately the impact of the rainout cancellation affected their performance. Missing the chance with the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the 6th likely was the turning point of the game. The bullpen, which pitched for 2 innings, appears to have enough stamina.
경기 예측
Since the interleague, Jackson has shown that he has fully adapted to NPB, and it seems likely he can continue his recent impressive pitching. Ultimately, the key is how long Yoshimura can hold out, but this season his biggest challenge has been against DeNA, and this year DeNA has shown overall solid performance at Jingu Stadium. The Yokohama DeNA BayStars, with the advantage in the starting pitcher matchup, are closer to victory.
