Dango bong
Kikuchi has been a train wreck this season. Tanaka is smooth as always... This should be no contest.
The Original Wing
Agreed with Dango bong. Kikuchi is currently 29th in ERA in the AL, and opposing hitters are batting .281 against him. Yuck. His ERA was 2.69 over his career in Japan. It's 5.19 in the MLB. I'm sure Seattle wants their money back.

Kikuchi may be 29th in ERA, but Tanaka isn't too much better at 23rd with an ERA close to his season worst. And the Yankees have the best run support in MLB.
