KBO picks and predictions

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

Doosan Bears ML (-102) over NC Dinos

The Doosan Bears lost their game on Tuesday morning, falling to the NC Dinos by a score of 4-3. They are now 48-66-2 on the season, have lost 3 games in a row, and are 9th place in the league standings. The Bears will start Robert Stock, who is 9-8 on the season and has an ERA of 2.95. In 25 starts this season, he has allowed 49 earned runs over 149.2 innings.

With the win on Tuesday, the Dinos are now 50-63-2 on the season. They are 7th 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 4.83. In 18 starts this season, he has allowed 46 earned runs over 85.2 innings.

The Bears might be in the midst of a losing streak, but Stock gives them a great chance to bounce back on Wednesday. He has been one of their best starters all season, so backing them to win will be the play.

LG Twins ML (-118) over SSG Landers

The SSG Landers beat the LG Twins on Tuesday morning by a score of 8-6. They are now 78-39-3 on the season and remain in 1st place, now by 5.0 games. The SSG Landers will start Wilmer Font on Wednesday morning, who is 13-6 on the season and has an ERA of 2.55. In 24 starts this season, he has allowed 45 earned runs over 159.0 innings.

With the loss on Tuesday, the Twins are now 72-43-1 on the season and are still in 2nd place in the league standings. The Twins will counter with Casey Kelly, who is 14-2 on the season and has an ERA of 2.57. In 22 starts the season, he has allowed 39 earned runs over 136.2 innings.

Both of these starters have been among the best in the KBO this season, but Font has struggled over his last couple of starts, while Kelly has remained strong. The Twins need this win to close the gap on the SSG Landers, therefore backing the Twins will be the play.

Samsung Lions ML (-198) over Kiwoom Heroes

The Samsung Lions easily won on Wednesday morning, beating the Kiwoom Heroes by a score of 11-4. They are now 51-66-2 on the season and are in 8th place in the league standings. The Lions will start Albert Suarez on Wednesday morning, who is 4-7 on the season and has an ERA of 2.53. In 24 appearances (23 starts) this season, he has allowed 38 earned runs over 135.0 innings.

With the loss on Tuesday, the Heroes are now 69-52-2 on the season and remain in 3rd place in the league standings. They will counter with Ju Seung-Woo, who will be making his first start this season. He only has appeared in 1 game this season, where he did not allow a run in 0.2 innings.

The Lions have a huge advantage on the mound, especially because of how little Seung-Woo has pitched this season. For that reason, backing the Lions will be the play.

Looking for a bigger payout? Play these picks as a 3-team parlay with odds of +450.
