The LG Twins and Kiwoom Heroes meet Friday morning in South Korea KBO baseball action at Jamsil Baseball Stadium.
The LG Twins look for a win after winning eight of their last 12 games. The LG Twins pitching staff has allowed five or more runs in 34 of their last 60 games. In their last effort, Lee Chun-woong and Lee Hyung-jong combined for three hits and four RBI while Casey Kelly allowed one run and five hits in six innings of work. The LG Twins have won 16 of their last 24 games overall. Tyler Wilson gets the ball tonight for the LG Twins.
The Kiwoom Heroes look for a win after winning seven of their last 13 games. The Kiwoom Heroes have scored no less than five runs in 21 of their last 45 games. In their last effort, Park Joon-tae and Jeon Byung-woo combined for two hits and one RBI while Han Hyun-hee allowed two runs and four hits in 5.1 innings of work. The Kiwoom Heroes have won 10 of their last 19 games overall. Jake Brigham gets the ball tonight for the Kiwoom Heroes.
The Kiwoom Heroes have won nine of the last 13 meetings against the LG Twins. Five of the last 11 meetings between the Heroes and Twins have produced double-digit run totals.
Tyler Wilson has a 4.12 ERA and 1.36 WHIP this season through 118 innings, and he’s allowed four or more earned runs in three of his last four starts. Jake Brigham has a 4.09 ERA and 1.36 WHIP this season through 66 innings, and he’s allowed eight runs and 15 hits through his last 11.1 innings. Not the best pitching matchup in the world obviously, but in a pick em contest, I have to lean toward the club that’s had the edge in h2h matches this season. The Kiwoom Heroes have won nine of the last 13 meetings against the LG Twins and six of the last nine meetings overall. That’s the one clear edge we have in this contest with two shaky pitchers on the mound.
Give me the Kiwoom Heroes in this pick em contest.
