My Prediction
Chunichi Dragons by 2Slap on your rally caps, baseball fans, because we've got the Tokyo Yakult Swallows slated to skirmish with the Chunichi Dragons. Let's chew on some numbers before we decide which team to put our hard-earned yens on.
Looking at history only serves to confuse—recent matches have swerved a bit like a drunken snake. Dragons roasted the Swallows early in the season, but the Swallows struck back in the last couple of games. It’s akin to a somewhat confusing romantic comedy.
But then, if you look at the season records, the Dragons have less of a losing streak going on than the Swallows. Guess that's worth something, right? On the subject, though, the Swallows are on a fresh threesome winning streak including a recent victory over the Dragons. That’s got to bruise the ego a little.
Given all that, who's going to emerge from this pitched battle with an extra notch in the win column? Sadly, season records and history can't predict the unpredictable nature of sports. My money is on the Chunichi Dragons wandering away from this melee with a modest win. I mean, let's be real, they've got a few more victories up their sleeves compared to their adversaries.
