My Prediction
Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters by 4The Tokyo Yakult Swallows, bless their hearts, really think they can take on the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters on their home turf. I mean, sure, they've pulled off a couple of unexpected wins before, but let's not kid ourselves- this isn't a Hollywood movie. Will we see an underdog story? Highly unlikely.
When you match up these two, it's a no-brainer. The Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters have dominated recent gamedays between these two featherweights, and looking at the Swallows' recent games - well let's just say they've been singing the blues. With a 17-36 record, it's clear they've been grounded this season.
The Fighters, on the other hand, are swinging hard this season with a respectable 33-24 record. They've got more hits than a viral Tik-Tok dance and they’re just about ready to samba all over the Swallows. Jeez, let's hope that doesn't happen – sports medics have it tough as it is.
Feeling lucky and planning to stake your money on an upset for the Swallows? Might as well bet on seeing a unicorn frolicking through Tokyo- might have better odds.
