Samsung Lions (-164)
For the first time since the start of the season, the Samsung Lions are finally over the .500 winning percentage hump. Within the last couple of weeks, the Lions have rallied off quite the winning streak with winning six of their previous eight games. After only allowing one run to the SK Wyverns on Monday, the Lions are poised for another excellent result. Former MLB pitcher David Buchanan will get the Wednesday start for the Lions. The veteran pitcher already has faced the Wyverns in 2020 and came away with his best performance. Back in early June, Buchanan finished off SK with an impressive stat line of four hits allowed, and zero earned runs over six innings. I’m confident Buchanan can get the job done once again.
Doosan Bears vs. Kiwoom Heroes over 10.5 total runs (-108)
The Bears and Heroes finished off the month of June, scoring a total of 13 combined runs. The second-place Heroes scored 11 of those runs and could score double-digit runs again on Wednesday. The Heroes will be facing starting pitcher Young-Ha Lee who has been awful. In his last three starts, Lee has allowed six runs per game with over ten hits per contest. With a poor season record of 1-4 and 6.29 ERA, it’s difficult to imagine a low scoring game. Expect the Heroes to drop the hammer on the Bears once again. Seven of the last 11 meetings have produced double-digit run totals too. The over 10.5 for Wednesday’s clash seems like a steal.
NC Dinos -1.5 (-176)
The NC Dinos have lost two of their past three games entering Wednesday clash. However, all of those worries should be coming to an end. The Dinos will start Chang Mo Koo against the Lotte Giants. With an impressive 1.37 ERA and 65 strikeouts to 12 walk ratio, Koo has been the king of the mound in the KBO. With a perfect 6-0 record on the season, Koo has dominated every team this year. In eight of his nine starts, he has allowed one run or less. The Giants are in for a rude awakening with Koo on the mound. Give me the run line to finish off our three-team parlay.
