Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Roki Sasaki are the likely starting pitchers for the Los Angeles Dodgers when they face the Chicago Cubs in Tokyo next month, according to manager Dave Roberts.

With the upcoming Tokyo Series set to feature a pair of storied Major League franchises with plenty of talent from Japan, the Dodgers are planning to have two of their most intriguing arms take center stage on home soil.

Sasaki's bullpen drew a crowd, as team officials, media members and even players watched the 23-year-old get to work.
