My Prediction
Hiroshima Carp by 2Diving right in, folks- wait, can't say that...anyway, just look at the last few skirmishes between the Hiroshima Carp and the Chiba Lotte Marines. It's been a bit of a seesaw - perhaps even a bungee jump, if you're into dramatic similes. Hiroshima has been landing more on the winning side, though, edging out Chiba especially in the most recent match-ups.
Talking about overall action, the Carp started the season like a rocket, although they started descending from their space voyage somewhere in the middle. Still, their 28-25 record is decibels above the whimpering 19-34 by the Chiba Lotte Marines. To borrow a popular sports phrase, that record says, "We’re not great, but at least we’re not them."
Hiroshima’s recent results resemble that smiley-face sticker your teacher gave you back in grade school, "Great effort, could do better", while the Marines' history looks like they’ve taken the term “batting practice” a little too literally.
You know, if I had to put my money where my mouth is... wait, don't tell me, I can't say that either... never mind, if I were to predict the outcome, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know which way this pendulum is swinging. So, without further ado,
Albert’s Prediction: Hiroshima Carp by 2
