My Prediction
Hanshin Tigers by 2If we're harking back to the history books, our intensive analysis is not painting a clear winner. Now, sure, the Hanshin Tigers seem to have the edge in recent outings every now and then but let's not discount the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters who’ve shown they can feast upon Tiger's mistake previously. They dined rather well on Hanshin's blunders in late May, if I do say so.
When you look at their regular season records, both teams are neck in neck. The Tigers clawed their way to a 30-20 record while the Fighters seem nipping at their heels with 29-20. That’s tighter than a new pair of shoes, folks!
The air does seem to hold a hint of the Tiger's musk lately. If you recall the last few matches, the Hanshin squad whipped up a storm against the Hiroshima Carp. The Nippon-Ham Fighters? Well, they had a mixed grill, skewering both the Chiba Lotte Marines and the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks.
In conclusion, I'd put my two cents on the Hanshin Tigers, but not by a landslide, no sir! It'll be a close shave, with the Tigers holding onto their lead by a whisker. Should be a hoot of a game, that's for certain!
