Prediction: Hiroshima Toyo Carp VS Orix Buffaloes 2025-06-04
The Hiroshima Toyo Carp are looking to build on their 5-2 win over the Orix Buffaloes in the first game of their interleague series. With their offense finally clicking, scoring 10 hits in the previous game, they're hoping to keep the momentum going.
The Orix Buffaloes, on the other hand, will be looking to bounce back from their loss. They'll need to find a way to contain the Carp's offense, which was led by former player Kuri in the previous game.
As for the odds, the Hiroshima Toyo Carp are slightly favored to win, with prices ranging from 1.88 to 2.04 across different bookmakers. The Orix Buffaloes are priced between 1.80 and 1.86.
My best bet for this game would be to take the Under 5.5 runs, priced at 1.83 on Fanatics and 1.91 on BetOnline.ag. The Carp's offense has been struggling to score runs, and while they had a breakout game in the previous match, it's unlikely they'll be able to sustain that level of production. The Buffaloes' pitching should be able to keep the Carp's offense in check, leading to a lower-scoring game.
So, if you're looking to place a bet on this game, take the Under 5.5 runs and hope that the pitchers can keep the offenses at bay.
