Sendai vs Yokohama

Published reasoning

Estimated probability: 70%. Sendai won their latest five, including 85-81 over Utsunomiya, 105-90 over SeaHorses and 70-68 away at Tokyo Sunrockers. They won all four October home games. Yokohama are 4-3 in October, but just lost 78-109 at home to Levanga and lost 73-74 at Kyoto; the model favors Sendai at 75%. Main risk: Yokohama beat Ryukyu 87-85 and Chiba 108-106 and split the April H2Hs at Sendai, winning the latest 86-75; Sendai also lost both early-October trips to Levanga. September exhibition results are not the core argument.
