My Prediction
Hiroshima Carp by 1If you've been paying attention - and I hope you have, because lord knows my sandwich isn't going to commentate itself - you'll notice something interesting about the Giants and the Carp. You see, the Giants might seem to be the favorites on paper, but the Carp have been picking up some finesse, showing some gumption lately.
Now, their recent matches? Tighter than the lid on my mother-in-law's jam jar. There's been a trend of close shaves, but Hiroshima Carp led with 2 wins to Yomiuri Giants' 3. Not bad for a team with gills, eh?
But never underestimate a good Cinderella story – and the Carp, despite being a seafood, might just be one. On their season records, both are doing the hokey pokey around the .500 line, with the Carp doing a slightly better footwork than the Giants.
Now, hold on to your swim caps, and let's dive into the recent results. The Carps and Giants have been slippery, both glittering and floundering their way to uneven success. The Carp has been picking up momentum with the recent 3-0 and 5-4 wins against Giants. But hey, who knows? The Giants might just decide they've had enough and whack a home run out of left field.
I'm going to go out on a limb here, and say that while the favorites might take a hit to their egos, their elite status might just cushion the blow. So how about this for a lungful of fresh air:

Ack! I don’t have the full matchup data you need to make a weighted prediction. Baseball is a fickle sport. Final data comes in the morning of the game.
