KBO picks and predictions
Tuesday’s five-game slate will feature some lopsided matchups that offer value. Let’s dive into the day’s best bets.
KT Wiz Money Line (-102)
A decent spot here as the KT Wiz look to continue their hot stretch, having won four of their last five games. They are currently in 5th, but not by much, so they must keep winning to avoid falling out of the playoff picture. The KT Wiz will start Odrisamer Despaigne here, who is 11-5 with a 4.05 ERA. Though his last six starts has seen him post a record of 5-0 with an ERA of 2.58. He also is 1-0 with a 2.08 ERA against the Heroes, so he has clearly had success against them.
KIA Tigers/Doosan Bears Over 10.5 Runs (-108)
Starting this game for the Bears is set to be Young-ha Lee. He is 3-8 on the season with an ERA of 5.44. Lee is coming off a bad outing where he allowed six runs over 6.2 innings. For the Tigers, Min-woo Lee is set to make the start. He has not been any better than his counterpart, posting a record of 4-7 with a 5.82 ERA. He has actually been even worse over his last six starts, going 0-5 during this stretch with an ERA of 7.71.
The Tigers are allowing an average of 9.0 runs per game during their 1-4 stretch, while scoring just 3.6 runs per game. This has still allowed the over to go 4-1 over these five games. I have mentioned how bad Min-woo Lee has been, but it also is worth noting that he has a record of 0-1 against this Doosan team and has allowed nine runs over 12.2 innings.
LG Twins Money Line (-128)
Another game here where I think we are getting a generous price on the better pitcher. The Twins will start Casey Kelly here, who is 7-6 with a 3.90 ERA. Kelly has looked extremely solid over his last seven starts, going 3-3, but posting an ERA of 2.58.
The Lions on the other hand, are starting to really struggle. They have won just one of their last five games and are quickly playing themselves out of the playoffs. Ben Lively will get the start here and he is 2-6 on the season with a 5.36 ERA. His last four starts in particular have been below average. allowing 16 runs over his last 21.0 innings. He is also 1-3 over this stretch and has an ERA of 6.86.
For those of you looking for bigger payouts, play the best bets as a three-team parlay, which pays +579.
