My Prediction
Yokohama DeNA BayStars by 2Oh, we've got a doozy on our hands here, haven't we? The Yokohama DeNA BayStars and Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks are going toe-to-toe, and you can already feel the static in the air.
Now, you may be thinking the BayStars, with that 31-25 regular season record, have this in the bag. But hold your horses, because the Hawks, sitting at a 29-27 record, aren't going to sit this one out quietly. No sir.
Our batsmen from Yokohama have certainly shown their mettle in the past match-ups, looking particularly spicy in their October face-offs of 2024. They've been dishing out baseball lessons to the Hawks, and it gives you pause. But then again, we've seen rollerskates outrun Ferraris before, haven't we?
But let's move on to the recent results, shall we? It's been a roller coaster ride, like popcorn in a pan. Hot, cold, hot again. BayStars have had a two win-twosome loss and a draw while the Hawks, they're sitting pretty with two W's and two L's, with an uncanny duel to a scoreless draw against Erik Barnes. If you're asking me, both sides are showing a bit of inconsistency.
Nonetheless, if this were a boxing match, you'd put your money on the one who has knocked out the other more often, wouldn't you? History, ladies and gentlemen, decidedly leans toward Yokohama. And while I somewhat begrudgingly admit that past performance might, just might have bearing here, I'd say we're in for a grudge match today. I wouldn't bet my house on it, but I believe BayStars might be adding another feather to their cap today.
So, without further ado;
Albert’s Prediction: Yokohama DeNA BayStars by 2
