My Prediction
Hiroshima Carp by 2All right, strap yourselves in because we've got a zinger of a game coming up here with the Hiroshima Carp set to square off against the Chiba Lotte Marines. Looking at their historical contests, before the current Carps' mini-revival, the Marines used to enjoy the home run like kids in a candy store. But fast forward to their last five matchups and boy, the tides have turned. Yes, baseball pun attempted because dry humor is like my Kryptonite.
Amusingly enough, the Marines' flag at their own fort seems to be flying at half-mast given their abysmal 20-35 record this regular season. Let the record show that the Carps are laughing their way to the sushi bar with a more respectable 29-26 line. There I go again with the pun.
The latest showdown between the two teams saw the Carps jugular biting the Marines 6-2. Prior to that, probably due to a bout of indigestion, they got swept 6-1 by the Marines. The Carps then went carp-crazy defeating the Saitama Seibu Lions three times in a row, those poor Lions definitely need some extra tuna.
Flipping the scales to the Marines' recent performances, except for their win against the Carps, they've been belly-up in their last three skirmishes against the Chunichi Dragons. Can someone introduce the Marines to dragon-slaying, please?
It's quite the spectacle, really. Kind of like watching a piranha circling a goldfish. But hey, who am I to judge? The sports gods are fickle, and baseball is a pitcher's duel. In conclusion, here's my prediction, let's hope it's more accurate than a moose playing darts.
