Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters by 3
Beautiful day for some baseball, isn't it? Now, let's crack down the upcoming showdown between the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles and the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters. The Fighters have been consistently mashing their way to victory with a superior season record, while our dear Golden Eagles... well, they seem to be flying on a wing and a prayer, if you catch my drift.
Looking at their historical face-offs, well, (chuckles) let's just say, the Fighters seem to have the Eagles' number. Our dear Eagles did swoop in a couple of times for narrow victories back in May, but it appears that the magic carpet ride ended there. The Fighters have snuffed out their candles not once, but twice in recent matchups, and those weren't close shaves by any stretch.
Tapping into the recent performances of both teams, the Golden Eagles seem to have more fluctuation than the stock market during a recession, while the Fighters keep cranking out mostly winning results, maintaining their uptick momentum.
In summary, if you needed me to spell it out for you...well here you go.
