Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles by 2
Ah, the Chiba Lotte Marines and Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles. What an electrifying matchup we have, akin to watching paint dry, if paint battles were a thing. Now, in the gloomy dungeons of the loss columns, the Golden Eagles are resting not so comfortably below the Marines. But don’t cry me a river just yet, because when it comes to their past encounters, the Eagles seem to have a bit more backbone, besting the Marines in 3 out of their past 5 matchups.
Now, let's move onto their last few games. Obvious things are obvious, the Marines are performing as well as a geriatric squirrel on a skateboard; they've won a measly 1 out of their last 5 games. Meanwhile, the Golden Eagles suddenly think they're on the set of a Rocky film and start showing some grit, racking up three "W's" in their last 5 trials.
Barring any unforeseen incidents like the Marines being replaced by a team of actual marines, I’d say there's a decent chance the Golden Eagles could strut away with this one.
