Prediction: Chunichi Dragons VS Tokyo Yakult Swallows 2025-05-29
The Chunichi Dragons are looking to extend their winning streak against the Tokyo Yakult Swallows, but they'll have to do it without infielder Hiroki Fukunaga, who's out with a left hand joint fracture. That's a significant blow, but the Dragons have been on a roll, and their closer Matsuyama is having a phenomenal season with 18 saves already.
The Swallows, on the other hand, are looking to bounce back from a tough loss, and they've got the home-field advantage on their side. But let's be real, the Dragons are on fire, and their recent win against the Swallows has got to give them some confidence.
So, what's the best bet here? I've got to go with the underdog Dragons, but not because I think they're going to win outright. I like the Dragons +1.5, which you can get at a pretty decent price of 1.57 on FanDuel. The Swallows are favored, but I think the Dragons can keep it close, and with their strong bullpen, they might just be able to pull off the upset.
But if you want to play it safe, the under 7.0 is looking pretty tempting, especially with the Swallows' recent struggles at the plate. You can get the under 7.0 at 1.82 on DraftKings, which is a pretty good price considering the Dragons' strong pitching.
So, there you have it, folks. The Dragons are looking to keep their streak alive, and I think they've got a good shot at it. But don't count out the Swallows just yet – they're hungry for a win, and they've got the talent to make it happen.
Best bet: Chunichi Dragons +1.5 (1.57 on FanDuel)
