Even on Mondays, when there are few games, "Monday to Patele" was started with the desire to create a time for professional baseball and Pacific League fans to enjoy. This week, Hatsuhiko Tsuji, Ryota Igarashi, and T-Okada appeared to predict the future of the "SMBC Japan Series 2025".

Mr. Tsuji and Mr. T-Okada both predict that Hanshin Tigers will have the upper hand due to their high pitcher power. On the other hand, Igarashi guessed that Fukuoka Softbank would win with 4 wins and 2 losses.

The first thing to say: "Please look back at both of you, who won this year's Japan Life Insurance Sepa Exchange Match?" Mr. Igarashi said. "When I compared the standings of Pacific League and Central League (of the Japan Life Insurance Sepa Exchange Match), the top Pacific League was Pacific League.

He continued, "Hanshin Tigers is indeed strong. In The Hawks, Kondo (Kensuke) is not there, and I hit home run recently, but I wonder how Gita (Yuki Yanagita) is doing. There are many things I am worried about, such as Shuto (Yukyo) has returned, but I wonder if I will be able to do it, and Akira (Nakamura) has also bumped into umpire. But when I watched the game today (Persol CS Pa Round 6), I thought The Hawks would come with momentum."

The "SMBC Japan Series 2025" will kick off on Saturday, October 25 at the home of the Pacific League participating teams.
