Prediction: Hiroshima Toyo Carp VS Yomiuri Giants 2025-05-28
The Hiroshima Toyo Carp are looking to build on their momentum after a thrilling win against the Yomiuri Giants, thanks to a 2-run homer from Kosei Kōen. The Giants, on the other hand, are trying to bounce back from a tough loss that ended their 5-game winning streak.
With Trey Cabbage's status uncertain after fouling a ball off his right ankle, and Kaito Ohkamoto still out with a left elbow ligament injury, the Giants' lineup might be a bit depleted. Meanwhile, the Carp's Tamamura Shogo is riding high after earning his 2nd win of the season with 5 scoreless innings.
Given the odds, I'd say the best bet is on the Hiroshima Toyo Carp to cover the spread. With the Giants' injuries and the Carp's recent win, I think Hiroshima has a good chance of taking this one. The spread is set at 1.5, and I think the Carp can win by at least 2 runs.
My best bet would be: Hiroshima Toyo Carp -1.5 at 1.38 (Fanatics) or 1.36 (FanDuel). This bet offers a decent payout and takes into account the Carp's recent form and the Giants' injury woes.
As for the total, I'd say it's a bit of a toss-up. Both teams have shown they can score runs, but they've also had their fair share of low-scoring games. If I had to pick, I'd say Under 4.5 at 1.91 (Fanatics) or 1.94 (FanDuel), but I'm not as confident in this bet as I am in the spread.
Overall, I think the Hiroshima Toyo Carp have a good chance of taking this one, and I'd recommend betting on them to cover the spread.
