NPB Club Boards (2026): Odds and Strength for All 12 Teams

League leaders as of the end of Aug 23, 2026 - Central League: Hanshin / Pacific League: SoftBank. Each club board pairs the odds ladder, from the pennant to the championship, with team strength and the season so far.

Each club board captures one team's season on a single page. This index lists all 12 clubs by league with their current standing, record and winning percentage plus pennant and Climax Series odds. The odds are this site's own statistical estimates, not official figures.

All probabilities are model estimates and do not guarantee outcomes. Probabilities are shown rounded to one decimal place: a displayed 100% does not mean mathematical certainty, nor does 0% mean elimination.

What each club page covers

Each club page runs, from top to bottom: the current standing and record; the ladder of pennant, Climax Series, Japan Series and championship odds; Elo strength with momentum and the club's best and worst years; the season trajectory with the last 10 games; the years the club won its league; and basic facts such as the home ballpark. Every figure is computed with the same model and data as the dedicated league-wide pages - only rearranged from the club's point of view.

Frequently asked questions

How are the odds on the club pages computed?

The remaining schedule - carried on through the Climax Series and the Japan Series - is simulated repeatedly, and each figure is the share of runs that reached the milestone in question (first place, top three, the Japan Series, the championship). The model is identical to the league-wide odds pages, and the numbers are estimates that move with the season, not definitive calls.

As of when are the standings and odds?

They reflect the 'data as of' date shown at the top of each page. Standings and records follow the official tables, while the odds and Elo strength are this site's estimates computed from the data available on that date.

Which years do the pennant tallies cover?

They cover the recent seasons stated explicitly in each page's heading, tallied from each season's final standings - a shorter span than the full pennant race archive, where earlier years can be traced. Only titles belonging to the lineage of today's twelve clubs, predecessors included, are counted.
