大だいリーグ ポストシーズン 組くみ合あわせ決定けってい【トーナメント表ひょうも】

Major League Baseballs regular season of 162 games has ended, and the battle for postseason spots, which went down to the final game, has also been decided.

In teams with Japanese players, the Dodgers, Cubs, Padres, and Red Sox are advancing to the postseason and aiming to win the World Series.

In the National League, the third and final Wild Card spot, which had not been decided until the end, went to the Reds, and the Mets, with pitcher Kodai Senga on their roster, missed the postseason for the second consecutive year.

◇Wildcard Series: Dodgers vs. Reds As a result, in the wildcard series starting on the 30th, the Dodgers, who won the Western Division, will face the Reds at the Dodgers home in Los Angeles.

will be done

I will.

The Reds performance this season: The Reds, whom the Dodgers will face in the Wild Card Series, are a team belonging to the National League Central Division and are based in Cincinnati, Ohio.

They have a strong track record, having won the World Series five times, but this is their first time making it to the postseason in five years. In fact, they recorded 100 losses in the 2022 season, and have been struggling in recent years.

This year, with manager Francona, who has experience winning the World Series twice with the Red Sox, taking the helm, the starting pitchers performed steadily, including Singer, who led the team with 14 wins, and two other pitchers who also recorded double-digit wins, which contributed to the teams rise in the standings.

The lineup centers around De La Cruz, the big shortstop who won the stolen base title last year with 67 steals, surpassing Ohtani. This year as well, he has hit 22 home runs and recorded 37 stolen bases.

The Dodgers have a significant lead in their head-to-head record this season with 5 wins and 1 loss, and in July, pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto held the opponent to 1 run over 7 innings to earn the win.

On the other hand, Ohtani has struggled against the Reds, with only 3 hits in 25 at-bats over 6 games for a .120 batting average and no home runs. This makes the Reds the only National League team he has faced this season whose pitchers he hasnt hit a home run off, so it will be interesting to see if he can break through against them.

◆Wild Card Series: Cubs vs. Padres The other National League Wild Card Series will feature the Cubs, who finished second in the Central Division, facing the Padres, who finished second in the Western Division. The games will be held at the Cubs home stadium, as they have the higher winning percentage.

Its the Cubs first postseason in five years, and both Seiya Suzuki and Shota Imanaga will be making their debut on this stage.

Padres pitchers Yu Darvish and Yuki Matsui are starting from the Wild Card Series for the second year in a row.

I will.

American League ◇ Wild Card Series: Yankees vs. Red Sox Meanwhile, in the American League, both the Blue Jays and the Yankees won their final games in the East Division, finishing tied at 94 wins and 68 losses. However, based on their head-to-head record, the Blue Jays clinched their first division title in 10 years since 2015.

The Yankees, who finished second in their division, will play in the Wild Card Series and host the Red Sox, which includes Masataka Yoshida, at their home in New York.

Yoshida, now in his third year in the Major Leagues, has made it to the postseason for the first time, and a matchup between two of the leagues top rivals is already set to take place.

I will proceed.

They were leading the division by five games, but after entering September, they slumped to 7 wins and 17 losses, while the Guardians went on a remarkable run with 20 wins and 7 losses, allowing a dramatic comeback and missing out on the division title.

I will.

The Yankees have the most World Series championships with 27, while the Dodgers are aiming for their first consecutive World Series victories in franchise history.

Additionally, the Brewers, Mariners, and Padres are aiming for their first-ever World Series championship.
