The Lotte Giants and SK Wyverns meet Tuesday morning in South Korea KBO baseball action at the Sajik Baseball Stadium.
The Lotte Giants look for a win after winning 19 of their last 32 games. The Lotte Giants offense has produced five or more runs in 21 of their last 33 games. In the latest effort, Jeon Jun-woo and Lee Dae-ho combined for three hits and seven RBI while Dan Straily allowed zero runs and two hits in six innings of work. The Lotte Giants have lost 26 of their last 52 games overall. Adrian Sampson gets the ball tonight for the Lotte Giants.
The SK Wyverns need a win here after losing 29 of their last 45 games. The SK Wyverns pitching staff has allowed four or less runs in 19 of their last 47 games. In their last effort, Ko Jong-wook and Choi Hang combined for four hits and one RBI while Park Jong-hoon allowed six runs and three hits in three innings of work. The SK Wyverns have lost 40 of their last 60 games overall. Lee Geon-wook gets the ball tonight for the SK Wyverns.
The Lotte Giants have won six of the last nine meetings against the SK Wyverns, but the last 12 meetings have been split down the middle. Five of the last eight meetings between the Giants and Wyverns have produced double-digit run totals.
Adrian Sampson has a 6.43 ERA and 1.75 WHIP this season through 56 innings, and he’s allowed three or less earned runs in four of his last six starts. Lee Geon-wook has a 4.74 ERA and 1.42 WHIP this season through 74 innings, and he’s allowed three or more earned runs in five of his last six starts. Geon-wook has a 5.45 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 76 KBO innings for his career. There’s not much difference between these two starting pitchers, but it’s the Lotte Giants who are playing the better baseball and have won six of the last nine meetings.
Give me the Lotte Giants and the reasonable price, as I’ll back form in this series opener.
