KBO picks and predictions
Sunday’s slate features plenty of opportunities for value. Let’s dive into the day’s best bets.
LG Twins -1.5 over Hanwha Eagles (-180)
The Hanwha Eagles lost to the LG Twins by a score of 4-1 on Saturday morning. They are now 42-85-2 on the season, still well in last place in the league standings. The Eagles will start Jang Min-Je on Sunday morning, who is 5-8 on the season and has an ERA of 3.85. In 29 appearances (22 starts) this season, he has allowed 47 earned runs over 110.0 innings.
With the win on Saturday, the Twins are now 77-46-2 on the season and are still in 2nd place in the league standings, but have closed the gap to 2.5 games. The Twins will counter with Casey Kelly, who is 15-2 on the season and has an ERA of 2.41. In 24 starts the season, he has allowed 40 earned runs over 149.2 innings.
For being on the league’s worst team, Min-Je has been pretty decent. He is still at a severe disadvantage compared to Kelly and the Twins, therefore backing the Twins will be the play.
Samsung Lions ML over Kia Tigers (-135)
The Kia Tigers lost to the Samsung Lions on Saturday morning by a score of 10-1. They are now 62-66-1 on the season, have lost 6 games in row, yet are still in 5th place in the league standings. The Tigers will start Lee Eui-Lee on Sunday morning, who is 8-10 on the season and has an ERA of 3.98. In 26 appearances (25 starts) this season, he has allowed 61 earned runs over 138.0 innings.
With the win on Saturday, the Lions are now 57-70-2 on the season, but are still in 8th place in the league standings. They will counter with Albert Suarez, who is 5-7 on the season and has an ERA of 2.40. In 26 appearances (25 starts) this season, he has allowed 40 earned runs over 150.0 innings.
Eui-Lee has been serviceable at times this season, but Suarez has been dominant recently. Add in the fact that the Tigers have not won in almost a week and backing the Lions looks to be worth a play.
Kiwoom Heroes ML over NC Dinos (-165)
The NC Dinos lost to the Kiwoom Heroes on Saturday morning by a score of 10-3. They are now 57-66-3 on the season and remain in 6th place in the league standings. The Dinos will start Kim Tae-Gyeong on Sunday morning, who is 2-0 on the season and has an ERA of 3.08. In 12 appearances (3 starts), he has allowed 9 earned runs over 26.1 innings.
With the win on Saturday, the Heroes are now 75-56-2 on the season and are still in 3rd place in the league standings. They will counter with An Woo-Jin, who is 13-7 on the season and has an ERA of 2.09. In 26 starts this season, he has allowed 40 earned runs over 172.0 innings.
Tae-Gyeong has had plenty of solid starts this season, but Woo-Jin has been much more consistent. For that reason, backing the Heroes looks to be worth a play on Sunday morning.
