My Prediction
Hanshin Tigers by 2Let's dissect the peculiarity that is this matchup. One one hand, we have the Hanshin Tigers that have been prowling the baseball pitches like it's their personal hunting ground, boasting an impressive 44 win versus 31-loss record for this regular season. They have a broader grin than a Cheshire cat for good reason.
Then we've got the Yokohama DeNA BayStars, sitting with a comfy 50% win-loss ratio of 36 out of 72 games. Practical, predictable, like day-old sushi. What you see is what you get.
Despite Yokohama DeNA BayStars' laudable performance, when you put them next to the Tigers, it's like comparing a cupcake to creme brulee. Heck, they recently went head-to-head against the Tigers and if we remember rightly, well let's just say the Tigers were left with the cream and everything that goes with it.
Now let's take a peek at the recent results. Hanshin Tigers have been on a roll, frying all that comes in their way like a tempura master. Yokohama on the other hand, they've done fine, but nothing screams "flashy".
So, if you have to ask me which team will prevail in this classic battle, I'd say the answer is about as obvious as a sumo wrestler in a tutu.
