KBO picks and predictions

Tuesday’s slate features plenty of opportunities for value. Let’s dive into the day’s best bets.

SSG Landers vs Lotte Giants: Under 7.5 runs (+102)

The total looks to be the better play in this match based on the fact that both Wilmer Font and Dan Straily have both been very consistent. Font has allowed 4 or more runs in 6 starts this season. In his last 2 starts, he has allowed 3 earned runs over 13.0 innings. In 4 starts against the Giants this season, he has allowed 4 earned runs over 29.0 innings.

On the other side, Straily has yet to allow more than 4 runs in any of his starts this season. His worst start was his most recent start, where he allowed just 3 earned runs over 5.0 innings. In 1 start against the SSG Landers, he also allowed just 2 earned runs over 6.0 innings. Based on the fact that both starters have had several good starters recently, backing the under will be the play for Tuesday morning.

Samsung Lions ML (-128) over NC Dinos

The Samsung Lions beat the LG Twins by a score of 3-1 on Sunday morning. They are now 54-68-2 on the season and are still in 8th place in the league standings. The Lions will start with Albert Suarez on Tuesday morning, who is 4-7 on the season and has an ERA of 2.45. In 25 appearances (24 starts) this season, he has allowed 39 earned runs over 143.0 innings.

The NC Dinos beat the Lotte Giants on Sunday morning by a score of 11-6. They are now 55-63-3 on the season, and are in 6th place in the league standings. The Dinos will counter with Song Myung-Gi, who is 3-6 on the season and has an ERA of 4.85. In 19 starts this season, he has allowed 48 earned runs over 89.0 innings.

While neither side has had a great season, Suarez has been far more consistent compared to Myung-Gi. For that reason, backing the Lions will be the play.

Kiwoom Heroes ML (-132) over Kia Tigers

The Kiwoom Heroes beat the KT Wiz on Sunday morning by a score by a score of 5-0. They are now 71-55-2 on the season and remain in 3rd place in the league standings. The Heroes will start An Woo-Jin, who is 12-7 on the season and has an ERA of 2.13. In 25 starts this season, he has allowed 39 earned runs over 165.0 innings.

The Kia Tigers lost to the Doosan Bears on Sunday morning by a score of 6-3. They are now 62-61-1 on the season and are in 5th place in the league standings. The Bears will counter with Lee Eui-Lee, who is 8-9 on the season and has an ERA of 3.97. In 25 appearances (24 starts) this season, he has allowed 59 earned runs over 133.2 innings.

Eui-Lee has been serviceable this season, but has been nowhere as consistent as Woo-Jin. For that reason, backing the Heroes will be the play.

Looking for a bigger payout? Play these picks as a 3-team parlay with odds of +532.

LG Twins -2.5 (-128) over Doosan Bears

The LG Twins will start Casey Kelly on Tuesday morning, who has an ERA of 2.51. The Doosan Bears will counter with Park Shin-Zi, who has an ERA of 7.13. Because Kelly has a huge advantage on the mound, backing the Twins to win comfortably will be the play.
