KBO picks and predictions
Monday’s slate features plenty of opportunities for value. Let’s dive into the day’s best bets.
Kia Tigers ML over LG Twins (-120)
The Kia Tigers beat the Hanwha Eagles on Sunday morning by a score of 10-1. They are now 67-71-1 on the season and remain in 5th place in the league standings. The Tigers will start Lee Eui-Lee on Monday morning, who is 9-10 on the season and has an ERA of 3.87. In 28 appearances (27 starts) this season, he has allowed 64 earned runs over 149.0 innings.
The LG Twins lost to the NC Dinos on Sunday morning by a score of 2-0. They are now 84-52-2 on the season and are still in 2nd place in the league standings, now trailing 1st place by 4.0 games. The Twins will counter with Im Chan Kyu, who is 6-10 on the season, and has an ERA of 4.66. In 21 starts this season, he has allowed 50 earned runs over 96.2 innings.
This game is important for both sides, but maybe more so for the Tigers. They are fighting to secure their playoff spot, trying to hold off the NC Dinos, who are just 2.0 games behind them. The Tigers have an advantage on the mound for this game as well, therefore backing them will be the play.
NC Dinos vs KT Wiz – Under 6.5 runs (+112)
The total looks to be the better play here based on the recent form of both starters. Koo Chang-Mo has allowed 4 earned runs in his last 3 starts over 20.0 innings. In 4 starts against the KT Wiz this season, he has allowed 9 runs (6 earned) over 23.1 innings.
On the other side, Um Sang-Back has allowed 4 earned runs in his last 3 starts over 18.0 innings. In 5 appearances (4 starts) against the Dinos, he has allowed 4 earned runs over 24.1 innings. Because both starters have been dominant recently and because they both have had a ton of success when facing each other, backing the under will be the play.
SSG Landers ML over Hanwha Eagles (-156)
The SSG Landers did not play on Sunday morning, so they are still 88-48-4 on the season. They remain in 1st place in the league standings, now leading by 4.0 games. The SSG Landers will start Park Jong-Hun on Monday morning, who is 3-3 on the season and has an ERA of 4.98. In 9 starts this season, he has allowed 24 earned runs over 43.1 innings.
The Hanwha Eagles lost on Sunday morning to the Kia Tigers by a score of 10-1. They are now 44-95-2 on the season and are still in last place in the league standings. They will counter with Moon Dong-Ju, who is 0-3 on the season and has an ERA of 5.70. In 12 appearances (3 starts), he has allowed 15 earned runs over 23.2 innings.
The Eagles have been terrible all season and even though the SSG Landers are starting a guy who has been inconsistent, backing them to win looks to be worth a lean.
