Yokobeyi (Andre Jackson Regular Season 8 Wins 7 Losses 2.90)
SoftBank (Kohei Arihara Regular Season 14 Wins 7 Losses 2.36)
Andre Jackson, the pitcher, recorded a loss against Yomiuri in the previous game (10/19), going 6.1 innings and allowing 4 runs (3 earned). In the previous match (10/13) against Hanshin, he won by pitching 5.2 innings and allowing 1 run. The loss ended a 5-game winning streak, and his regular season record stands at 25 games, 8 wins, 7 losses, with 14 quality starts. Andre Jackson is a right-handed pitcher who recorded 1 win, 3 losses, 1 hold, and 2 saves with a 4.99 ERA in 19 games last MLB season. Throughout the regular season, he showcased his fastball in the low 150km range and changeup in 17 of the 25 games, while displaying command issues in the remaining 8 games. He has no previous head-to-head record.
Kohei Arihara, the pitcher, recorded a win at home against Nippon Ham in the previous game (10/16), pitching 7 innings and allowing 2 runs. In his last regular season outing (10/3), he also won at home against Rakuten, going 7 innings and allowing 2 runs. He is on a 3-game winning streak and has a regular season record of 26 games, 14 wins, 7 losses, including 2 complete game shutouts and 1 complete game. This season, he has shown excellent crisis management skills in 19 of his 26 appearances, but in the remaining 7 games, he struggled due to lack of defensive support and allowed consecutive hits. He has no previous head-to-head record.
After finishing 3rd in the Central League regular season, Yokobeyi’s momentum from defeating Hanshin and Yomiuri to advance to the Japan Series is strong, but the experience of the SoftBank players in big games will likely show. Most importantly, SoftBank's batting lineup has the upper hand in the ability to squeeze out runs.
