My Prediction
Orix Buffaloes by 1Oh, what's this? It's just the classic showdown between the Orix Buffaloes and Chunichi Dragons, a rivalry as old as, well, whatever my hairstyle was fifteen years ago. Let's break it down, shall we?
When it comes to past duels, these guys are as evenly matched as a pair of unmatched socks. The Buffaloes and Dragons have been trading wins and losses like kids with a bad case of the cooties. Believe me when I say, it's a game that could swing either way like a fickle pendulum.
Looking at regular season records, the Buffaloes are slightly ahead as they have managed more wins than their Dragon counterparts. Interesting, right? Maybe not as exciting as my Tuesday night Bingo, but it's something.
But let's chew on some recent stats. The Buffaloes are on a bit of a hot steak, grilling their opponents like summer barbecues with a notably more convincing margin of victory. The Dragons, on the other hand, seem to be stuck in a bit of a back-and-forth, a tit-for-tat situation, if you will. Their recent record is as inconsistent as my ability to avoid tripping over my own feet – which, I must admit, happens more often than one would expect.
So let's say you were forced to put your faith – and perhaps a very small amount of money, just hypothetically speaking – on one team. Where should you cast your gamble? My money – again, purely in a metaphorical sense, would be on the Orix Buffaloes. When a buffalo starts charging, you'd best get out of the way! And by how much, you ask? I'd suggest only by the smallest possible margin that is recognized in this great game of baseball.
