Prediction: Orix Buffaloes VS Chiba Lotte Marines 2025-05-28
The Orix Buffaloes are looking to bounce back from their recent loss to the Chiba Lotte Marines, and they're facing off against them again on May 28th. The Marines are riding high after a dominant performance from 20-year-old pitcher Ryota Tanaka, who threw 7 scoreless innings with 5 strikeouts and only 2 hits allowed.
The current odds have the Chiba Lotte Marines at 2.02 (FanDuel) and the Orix Buffaloes at 1.81 (FanDuel) in the head-to-head market. The spread is set at 1.5, with the Marines at 1.53 (FanDuel) and the Buffaloes at 2.5 (FanDuel). The total is set at 6.5, with the over at 1.98 (FanDuel) and the under at 1.82 (FanDuel).
Given Tanaka's impressive performance and the Marines' recent win, I'm going to pick the Chiba Lotte Marines to win this one. My best bet is the Chiba Lotte Marines at 2.02 (FanDuel) in the head-to-head market. The Marines have the momentum and the pitching to take down the Buffaloes again.
However, if you're looking for a bit more value, the under 6.5 at 1.82 (FanDuel) could be a good option. The Buffaloes' offense has been struggling, and Tanaka's performance suggests that the Marines' pitching can shut them down.
So, there you have it - the Chiba Lotte Marines to win, and possibly the under 6.5 if you're feeling fancy. Let's see how it plays out!
