The LG Twins and Kiwoom Heroes meet Thursday morning in South Korea KBO baseball action at Jamsil Baseball Stadium.
The LG Twins look for a win after winning seven of their last 11 games. The LG Twins pitching staff has allowed five or more runs in 34 of their last 59 games. In their last effort, Roberto Ramos and Kim Hyun-soo combined for two hits and two RBI while Jung Chan-heon allowed one run and five hits in six innings of work. The LG Twins have won 15 of their last 23 games overall. Casey Kelly gets the ball tonight for the LG Twins.
The Kiwoom Heroes look for a win after winning seven of their last 12 games. The Kiwoom Heroes have scored no less than five runs in 21 of their last 44 games. In their last effort, Addison Russell and Park Dong-won combined for three hits and five RBI while Jo Young-gun allowed three runs and five hits in 5.1 innings of work. The Kiwoom Heroes have won 10 of their last 18 games overall. Han Hyun-hee gets the ball tonight for the Kiwoom Heroes.
The Kiwoom Heroes have won nine of the last 12 meetings against the LG Twins. Five of the last 10 meetings between the Heroes and Twins have produced double-digit run totals.
Casey Kelly has a 3.81 ERA and 1.25 WHIP this season through 120.1 innings, and he’s allowed one or less runs in six of their last eight starts. Han Hyun-hee has a 5.70 ERA and 1.35 WHIP this season through 107.1 innings, and he’s allowed four or more runs in three of his last four starts. The Kiwoom Heroes have beaten up on the LG Twins this season, but it’s the Twins have that are probably playing the better baseball over these last couple of weeks and they have a clear starting pitching matchup in this contest. Kelly has been solid all year and he’s pitching his best overall over the last few weeks.
I’ll side with the LG Twins in this contest and take the RL for added betting value.
