A and B Blocks penultimate group matches for this year's NJPW G1 Climax will take place today.
In yesterday's post, I wrote about BetOnline's match markets for today's card. Below, you'll find some notes about some price changes that have occurred since the post was published.
The market that has been the most active since yesterday is the one for YOSHI-HASHI versus Great-O-Khan. It has seen the latter's odds dip.
As a result, YOSHI-HASHI has moved up as a favourite from -200 to -180.
A win for G-O-K would see him get to four points ahead of the final night of B Block on Sunday. In that round, he'll face Taichi who - if he beats El Phantasmo today - would be on eight points and could still in the hunt to progress into the playoffs.

Today's Results
Here are today's results along with some notes about points ahead of the final nights for both blocks.
- Hikuleo beat Kaito Kiyomiya in the opener. He was a +250 underdog to Kiyomiya's -400. Both men are on six tournament points following this result
- The wagers on Great-O-Khan (see above) will be settled as winners. He scored a pinfall victory over YOSHI-HASHI. Both are on four points
- Ren Narita forced Chase Owens to submit. This was the first win for Narita (he had two ties). Both left this one on four points
- +300 El Phantasmo beat Taichi to go to six points. Taichi stays on six
- SANADA extended his tournament winning streak to 12 points. This time against Gabe Kidd
- Tanga Loa won as a +500 underdog against Will Ospreay. The results opened up B Block heading into its final round
- Yota Tsuji beat Shota Umino in the match that had both men close as -120 pick 'ems. This is one I thought would be a draw because both Umino and Tsuji have had draws against Ren Narita, All three wrestlers are regarded by New Japan as the Reiwa Three Musketeers, so I assumed there was a chance that all combinations of matches between the three would result in draws after the first two were. They did tease a draw, however, because the match ended with seconds left in the regulated time
- Kazuchika Okada defeated KENTA as a -2,000 favourite in the main event. This brings him to 10 points and leaves KENTA out of contention with four points.
