Samsung Lions vs. Lotte Giants – 9/11/20 KBO Baseball Pick, Odds, and Prediction

The Lotte Giants and Samsung Lions meet Friday morning in South Korea KBO baseball action at the Sajik Baseball Stadium.  

The Lotte Giants look for a win after splitting their last 10 games. The Lotte Giants offense has produced five or more runs in 24 of their last 39 games. In the latest effort, Jeon Jun-woo and Han Dong-hee combined for five hits and five RBI while Dan Straily allowed seven runs and eight hits in six innings of work. The Lotte Giants have split their last 16 games overall. Seo Jun-won gets the ball tonight for the Lotte Giants.     

The Samsung Lions need a victory here after losing 11 of their last 16 games. The Samsung Lions have allowed five or more runs in 17 of their last 32 games. In their latest effort, Koo Ja-wook and Kim Dong-yeop combined for four hits and five RBI while Kim Dae-woo allowed three runs and 10 hits in four innings of work. The Samsung Lions have lost 14 of their last 20 games overall. Lee Sang-min gets the ball tonight for the Samsung Lions.      

The Lotte Giants have won the last four meetings against the Samsung Lions, but the last 12 meetings overall have been split down the middle. Six of the last 11 meetings between the Giants and Lions have produced double-digit run totals. 

Seo Jun-won has a 4.69 ERA and 1.51 WHIP this season through 88.1 innings, and he’s allowed three or less earned runs in each of his last five starts. Lee Sang-min has a 9.00 ERA and 2.00 WHIP this season through two innings, and he has a 8.62 ERA and 1.95 WHIP through 31.1 innings in his KBO career. Sang-min doesn’t have enough of a sample size to make a case for in this spot, and the Samsung Lions look like a team that’s lost its way. Jun-won is putting together some of his better games over the last three weeks, and the Giants have won four straight games against the Lions.

Give me the Lions and the RL in this spot for max betting value.
