TOE vs SSL Dream11 Match Prediction: Pacific League leaders Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles will be aiming to make a hattrick of wins when they play Saitama Seibu Lions in 2020 regular-season of Japanese Professional Baseball League, at Kobo Sta. Miyagi, on Saturday morning (IST).
There must be a hint of overfamiliarity for both these teams when they line-up to face each other, after all, this is the third straight meeting between these two teams.
Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles will definitely be looking to take a cue or two from the last two matches, for they won both those games against Seibu, outplaying them 11-0 in the first encounter, followed by a 7-4 win in the second match. Those two wins saw Rakuten stretching their regular season record to 15-8 while holding a two-game advantage at the top.
Saitama Seibu Lions, on the other hand, are the fourth-best team in the Pacific League. They have a negative return this season at 10-11, which is also down to the two defeats they suffered against Rakuten in the last two games. That said, the season is still new, and every team has plenty of game and time left to make amends for the mistakes, but too many negative defeat could leave some teams with the catch-up game. Lions know they face pressure from the teams sitting below them.
Here, we will be sharing all related information, team news, probable lineups, and also the fantasy team combination along with key players for the Today Baseball Match TOE vs SSL Dream11 match prediction.

Here we come up with Dream11 Fantasy Baseball prediction and team news.
TOE vs SSL Dream11 Team News
Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles
- No player is on the injury list for Rakuten, who come into this game on the back of a two-game winning run. They have no reason to flirt with the winning combination.
- Hayato Yuge should be the team’s main pitcher in this game.
- Yoya Ogo may not get the game time after struggling to make a positive impact in the last match.
Saitama Seibu Lions:
- Seibu are hard-pressed for a win after dropping the last two games.
- So the team management could make some changes as they seek to return to winning ways.
- That means, Cory Spangenberg, who struggled in the last game, could be dropped down to the bench.
- Masatoshi Okada could also face the same fate, while the likes of Masato Kumashiro and Tomoya Mori may be overlooked once again.

TOE vs SSL Dream11 Team Prediction Today Baseball Match
Daichi Suzuki was in red-hot form in the last game for Rakuten. He had a couple of good hits and runs. If you are looking for a captain for this Dream11 Baseball game, then Suzuki may be the first player ringing in your mind.
Jabari Blash is another player on Rakuten’s roster who has been racking up some good performances of late. He had two runs in the last game and was good overall.
Players such as Ryosuke Tatsumi, Hikaru Ohta and Hideto Asamura are also worth considering from Rakuten.
Shuta Tonosaki will be key for Seibu. He was in good touch in the last match against Rakuten.
Shohei Suzuki, Takumi Kuriyama, Sosuke Genda, and Shuta Tonosaki all are in good form as well.

Saitama Seibu Lions are a decent team and will certainly ask questions, but backing Rakuten to win this game seems a good and a safe call.
