My Prediction
Saitama Seibu Lions by 2Oh look at this, the Saitama Seibu Lions are visiting the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters. Now that's a spicy meatball of a game right there. Taking a gander at their regular season records, it's like looking at twins, only one of them has a slightly larger forehead. The Lions are boasting a respectable 15-12, while the Fighters are almost mirrored with a 15-13 record.
Let's stroll down memory lane for a minute and recall the past head-to-heads. We've got the Dragons nipping at the heels of the Tigers with a fairly even matchup history that looks something like a country line dance. But hey, the Lions have three victories against the Fighters out of the last five. And that makes the scales tip just a teeny bit more towards the leather-clad jungle cats.
Oh, and let's not forget about the recent results, folks. While the Lions have been playing like they've got a chip on their shoulder, bagging some impressive recent wins, the Fighters haven't exactly been eating a diet of failure pies. Undeniably, the Lions have been on a roll, like a hamster in a wheel, only the wheel is on fire and the hamster is wearing a cape.
Now, I'm not one to stake my credibility on a hunch, but given the past performances, as clear as a glass of untouched sake, my dough would go on the Saitama Seibu Lions. Try saying that five times fast, eh?
