KBO picks and predictions
Wednesday’s slate features plenty of opportunities for value. Let’s dive into the day’s best bets.
LG Twins ML over Kia Tigers (-156)
The LG Twins lost to the Kia Tigers on Tuesday morning by a score of 8-3. They are now 84-53-2 on the season and remain in 2nd place in the league standings by 4.0 games. The Twins will start Kim Yun-Sik, who is 7-5 on the season and has an ERA of 3.30. In 22 starts the season, he has allowed 40 earned runs over 109.0 innings.
With the win on Tuesday morning, the Tigers are now 68-71-1 on the season and are still in 5th place in the league standings. They will counter with Thomas Pannone, who is 3-3 on the season and has an ERA of 2.11. In 12 starts this season, he has allowed 18 earned runs over 76.2 innings.
Both starters have been solid this season, but Yun-Sik has been much more consistent, especially against the Tigers. For that reason, backing the Twins will be play.
SSG Landers vs Doosan Bears – Under 7.5 runs (+100)
The total may be the better play for this matchup because both starters have been very consistent this season. Kim Kwang-Hyun has allowed 5 earned runs over 19.0 innings in his last 3 starts. In 2 starts against the Bears this season, he has not allowed an earned run over 15.0 innings.
On the other side, Brandon Waddell has allowed 10 runs (8 earned) over 19.0 innings. In his only start against the SSG Landers this season, he has allowed just 1 earned run over 7.2 innings. Because both starters have been dominant against each other, backing the under will be the play.
Samsung Lions vs KT Wiz – Under 7.5 runs (-116)
The total looks to be the better play here because of the consistency shown by both starters. David Buchanan has allowed 4 runs (3 earned) over 21.1 innings in his last 3 starts. In 5 starts against the KT Wiz this season, he has allowed 13 runs (12 earned) over 30.0 innings.
On the other side, Ko Young-Pyo has allowed 8 runs (7 earned) over 20.0 innings in his last 3 starts. In 2 starts against the Lions this season, he has allowed 3 earned runs over 14.0 innings. Because both starters have been solid when facing each other, backing the under will be the play.
