Two games where the headline numbers hide what's actually walking onto the floor. At Jingu, both starters show up in worse shape than their names suggest, in a park where each of them has been hit hard. In Santiago, Real Madrid arrive on their third game in five days after two Euroleague road losses, against a rested Obradoiro side playing its first home game back in the top flight. Both picks come down to the current state of these teams rather than their reputations.
Two NPB games on the last day of the regular season, and in both the starting pitchers and the stakes point the same way for me. At Jingu, Yakult hands the ball to a starter who has lost seven straight and was sent down in mid-September, against a Hiroshima right-hander with a 2.68 ERA. At Yokohama, the home side has to win to dodge the champion's two-win head start in the playoffs, while Hanshin has already clinched and sends out a left-hander coming off a demotion.
