Kia Tigers ML over Hanwha Eagles (-215)
The Hanwha Eagles beat the KT Wiz on Wednesday morning by a score of 4-1. They are now 40-84-2 on the season, but they are in last place and all they can do now is play spoiler. The Eagles will start Nam Ji-Min on Thursday morning, who is 2-11 on the season and has an ERA of 6.75. In 21 appearances (19 starts) this season, he has allowed 63 earned runs over 84.0 innings.
The Kia Tigers lost to the Kiwoom Heroes on Wednesday by a score of 2-0. They are now 62-63-1 on the season and are still stuck in 5th in the league standings. They will counter with Thomas Pannone, who is 3-2 on the season and has an ERA of 1.97. In 10 starts this season, he has allowed 13 earned runs over 59.1 innings.
The Tigers have a huge pitching advantage in this matchup, one that cannot be ignored. For that reason, backing the Tigers will be the play.

The Twins will counter with Kim Yun-Sik, who is 4-5 on the season and has an ERA of 3.96. In 19 starts the season, he has allowed 40 earned runs over 91.0 innings.
Both starters have had decent seasons, but Yun-Sik has been in much better form over his last 3 starts compared to his opponent. For that reason, backing the Twins will be the play.
NC Dinos ML over SSG Landers (-198)
