SoftBank's batting order has repeatedly turned early baserunners into chances for Kondo and Kurihara against the Fighters. Nippon Ham's middle order also reached base often in the series opener, giving this rematch a separate route to runs. Two right-handed starters take over after the opener's early exits. The innings around their first relief handoffs look central to how this game develops.
