Prediction: Hanshin Tigers VS Chunichi Dragons 2025-05-24
The Hanshin Tigers are looking to keep their winning streak alive as they face off against the Chunichi Dragons. The Tigers are coming off a thrilling 11-inning win, where they managed to scrape together a few runs against the Dragons' pitching staff.
The Dragons, on the other hand, are looking to bounce back from a tough loss. They had several opportunities to take the lead, but ultimately fell short.
In terms of injuries, the Tigers' opening left fielder, Kazuhiro Kakeuchi, is currently undergoing farm team adjustments, which might affect their lineup. However, Takahiro Sato has been practicing right field defense, which could give the Tigers some flexibility in their outfield.
As for the odds, the Hanshin Tigers are slightly favored to win, with a price of 1.77-1.83 across different bookmakers. The over/under is set at 4.5, with the under being slightly favored at 1.83-2.0.
My best bet for this game would be to take the under 4.5. Both teams have shown strong pitching, and the Tigers' offense has been struggling to score runs. With the Dragons' pitching staff looking to bounce back from a tough loss, I expect a low-scoring game. The under 4.5 is available at 1.83-2.0 across different bookmakers, which I think is a good value given the circumstances.
