My Prediction
Hanshin Tigers by 2Swing and welcome to the showdown between our matadors of the mitten, folks... err... casual observers, I mean. We've got the Hanshin Tigers stalking the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters in what's shaping up to be a classic matchup.
Now look, it's plain as day. The Tigers have been prowling around like they own the joint, with a commendable regular season record. I mean, 31 wins out of 52, not too shabby if you're asking me, which you are. Clearly, they don't have any litter tray problems.
On the other side, you've got the Fighters. Now, they're no pushovers either, with 30 wins and same losses as the Tigers - these guys have been giving it their all and they're no stranger to rolling up the sleeves and getting stuck into battle.
The interesting bit is their last five encounters. These have been a mixed bag, really – a bit like my mother in law's candy bowl. The Tigers and Fighters have been trading blows, with close calls and big wins on both sides. It's like a five-part drama series where nobody can predict the final episode.
When it comes to recent match history: that's a stroll down memory lane the Tigers might not want to take. The Fighters bested them in the last game after what sounds like a decent tussle. That said, Tigers gave Hiroshima Carp a good ol' clawing in their last three games.
And the Fighter's last results? Consistency is key, and they've shown us they've got the rhythm. They've squeaked victories in their last three games. That's no mean feat.
So, now you're likely wondering what all this leads to? Well, drum-roll please, or, maybe just a polite golf clap, because given this information, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say...
Albert’s Prediction: Hanshin Tigers by 2.
