KBO picks and predictions
Friday’s five-game slate sees some of the league’s top pitchers take the mound, including former Chicago Cub, Eric Jokisch. Let’s dive into the best bets for Friday.
Lotte Giants Moneyline (-157)
After a tough three-game series against the NC Dinos, the Lotte Giants can breathe again when they take on the SK Wyverns. Losers of five straight games and seventeen of their last twenty games, the Wyverns are in heaps of trouble. The Giants have beat the Wyverns in three straight games in 2020. Former MLB standout Adrian Sampson will get the start for the Giants. Last year Sampson was a perfect 2-0 taking on the Wyverns. Give me the Giants to win straight up.
Under 9.5 total runs (-118)
The Samsung Lions are moving and grooving with high hopes of taking yet another series from the LG Twins. The Lions have won three straight and eight of their last eleven, but enter this contest as the underdog. One of the reasons why is Lions pitcher Jung Hyun Baek getting the green light to start. Back on June 4, Baek allowed eight earned runs and fourteen hits when he took on the Twins. However, since his worst start this season, Baek has turned his season around. In his last four starts, the 32-year old has allowed 1.33 earned runs per game and an impressive 15:7 strikeout to walk ratio. I’m confident Baek can keep the Twins run total under control.
Kia Tigers Moneyline (-113)
Winners of two straight games, the Kia Tigers, are riding the momentum in a new series against the NC Dinos. Right now is the perfect time to jump on the Kia Tigers train. Former New York Mets pitcher Drew Gagon gets the start for the Tigers who has been solid this season. Over 51 innings of work, Gagon has produced an impressive 3.88 ERA and 1.22 WHIP. The NC Dinos, have lost three of their past six and look to be out of sorts. Give me Drew Gagon and the Tigers.
