KBO Picks
ESPN Game of the Day: NC Dinos (10-1) vs Doosan Bears (7-4)
Probable Pitchers: Mike Wright (Dinos) vs Young-ha Lee (Bears)
This should be the game of the day with the Dinos at the top of the KBO standings while the Bears are the defending Korean Series champs. Both teams have solid pitchers on the mound but there's something to be said for trends, and no KBO trend is hotter than the Bears streak of Overs after Sunday's game against Kia once again cashed in on the Over.
Doosan is batting .337 and plating an incredible 7.45 runs per game so far this season. Unfortunately they have also given up a lot of runs with their pitching staff at the bottom of the league with an ERA of 6.24. That's bad news against the Dinos who are batting .281 and scoring 6.27 runs per contest.
Keep hitting this trend and take the Over.
Pick: Over 9.5 (-115)
SK Wyverns (1-10) vs Kiwoom Heroes (7-5)
Probable Pitchers: Ricardo Pinto (Wyverns) vs Won-tae Choi (Heroes)
The Wyverns had a terrific 2019 season but have been the worst team in the KBO this year currently on a nine-game losing streak. A big reason for their slump has been their terrible hitting with SK batting .230 and generating just 3.09 runs per game.
Don't expect them to be any better on Tuesday against Heroes starter Won-tae Choi. Choi is on the of the best young arms in the KBO and over his last 10 starts has gone 4-1 with a 1.84 ERA. Keep fading the Wyverns and take the Heroes on the runline.
Pick: Kiwoom Heroes -1.5 (+120)
Hanwha Eagles (5-7) vs KT Wiz (4-7)
Probable Pitchers: Shi-hwan Jang (Eagles) vs William Cuevas (Wiz)
The Wiz are on a three-game winning streak as they welcome the Eagles to Suwon Baseball Stadium. Wiz pitcher is William Cuevas is coming off a solid performance against NC giving up one run through six innings of work. Cuevas had a cup of coffee with the Boston Red Sox in 2016 and 2018, and went an impressive 13-10 with a 3.62 ERA for the Wiz in 2019.
The Eagles counter with Shi-hwan Jang who went 6-13 with a 4.95 ERA last season. The Wiz also have the edge at the plate where they have a BA of .311 and have scored 6.91 runs per game, while the Eagles have mustered just 3.17 runs per contest. Back the home team on the runline.
Pick: KT Wiz -1.5 (+120)
