Saitama Seibu Lions vs. Orix Buffaloes

Quick read:

I’m backing the under 7.0 total as these Lions and Buffaloes look more like chess players than sluggers, each waiting for the other to make the first mistake.
Both squads have leaned heavily on their veteran arms lately, turning potential fireworks into a series of polite ground balls and strikeouts that keep the run column stubbornly low.
The only wrinkle is a sudden offensive spark from a rookie could flip the script, but at the current price the risk is worth the quiet night at the ballpark.
