HNF vs ORB Dream11 Prediction | Japanese Professional Baseball | Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters vs Orix Buffaloes, 14 July

HNF vs ORB Dream11 Match Prediction: Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters and Orix Buffaloes will play the final contest of their two-game mini-series at Kushiro Shimin Kyujo on early Wednesday morning (IST).
Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters were trounced and bulled in every possible way by the Orix Buffaloes in the last game. Even the 0-5 scoreline flatters Nippon Ham who could have lost by a bigger margin. For the Buffaloes, that win should bring some sort of momentum. They have had some hiccups this season, but remain a top team.
