BetOnline's oddsmakers have published markets for the remaining two nights of block matches for this year's NJPW G1 Climax.
Tomorrow's card will see the participants of C Block compete. It'll open up with two wrestlers out of playoff contention in Tomohiro Ishii and Mikey Nicholls.
Ishii, who has so far accrued two points from one win, is favoured with a price of -400 over Nicholls' +250.
Following the opening tournament match of the evening, Tama Tonga - who is on seven points and still in with a chance of making the playoff portion of the tournament - will square off against HENARE, whose tournament will end with tomorrow's match due to having four points.
HENARE is +250 to Tama Tonga's -400 and is in the second match underdog winner spot that has worked for those who may have gambled on Ren Narita and the Great-O-Khan on the closing nights of A nad B Block respectively.
The tournament fixtures will start with Toru Yano and Alex Coughlin in a match with no playoff berths on the line. Both men are -120 pick 'ems.
Jeff Cobb, who is on a two-match losing streak, could still keep his playoff chances alive with a win against Shane Haste in the second match. Cobb is favoured at -200 to Haste's +150.
If Cobb were to win, bearing in mind it's in the second match spot which has not been great to favourites the last two nights, he would need Zack Sabre Jr to win against Hirooki Goto in the third match because Cobb holds the tiebreaker over ZSJ but not Goto.
Zack Sabre Jr. is -500 to Goto's +300.

I'd like to conclude this post with odds notes from yesterday's B Block finale.
Before I do, I should explain why there was no G1 post yesterday.
After watching SummerSlam live, I decided I would see if I would wake up in time for the tournament matches. I did. However, by the time I got to my computer, I had missed any potential closing odds for the four matches. However, I was able to grab some late prices two-and-a-half hours before the show began.
The first tournament match for B Block's closing round was won by KENTA.
As you can see, the bookmakers opened up the betting with both the eventual winner and YOSHI-HASHI as -120 pick 'ems. By the early hours of yesterday morning, KENTA was the clear favourite with a price of -150 to his opponent's +110.
Match number two was won by the Great-O-Khan who was +250 to Taichi's -400.
The third match of the show saw Kazuchika Okada pick up the two points towards becoming B Block winner. His opponent was Tanga Loa.
Okada had closed at -500, but spent some time at -400 following the early move in favour of the eventual loser.
Will Ospreay beat El Phantasmo in the main event. The win saw Ospreay go to ten points and finish second in the group.
Ospreay was backed from -1,000 into -1,250 in the time I had followed the market.
