Lotte Giants vs. SK Wyverns – 9/13/20 KBO Baseball Pick, Odds, and Prediction


2020-09-13 01:00:00 EDT

The SK Wyverns and Lotte Giants meet Sunday morning in South Korea KBO baseball action at the Incheon SK Happy Dream Stadium.  

The SK Wyverns need a win here after losing 11 of their last 14 games. The SK Wyverns pitching staff has allowed five or more runs in 11 of their last 14 games. In their last effort, Choi Ji-hoon and Oh Tae-gon combined for three hits and one RBI while Lee Geon-wook allowed zero runs and two hits in six innings of work. The SK Wyverns have lost 15 of their last 21 games overall. Ricardo Pinto gets the ball tonight for the SK Wyverns.  

The Lotte Giants look for a win after winning five of their last eight games. The Lotte Giants offense has produced five or more runs in 25 of their last 41 games. In the latest effort, Jeon Jun-woo and Lee Dae-ho combined for two hits and one RBI while Adrian Sampson allowed two runs and four hits in 6.2 innings of work. The Lotte Giants have split their last 14 games overall. Park Se-woong gets the ball tonight for the Lotte Giants.  

The Lotte Giants have won seven of the last 12 meetings against the SK Wyverns. Five of the last nine meetings between the Giants and Wyverns have produced double-digit run totals.

Ricardo Pinto has a 6.93 ERA and 1.92 WHIP this season through 115.2 innings, and he’s allowed four or more earned runs in nine of his last 10 starts. Park Se-woong has a 4.49 ERA and 1.50 WHIP this season through 104.1 innings, and he’s allowed three or less earned runs in 10 of his last 12 starts. The Lotte Giants are the better team, have won seven of the last 12 meetings in this series and have a clear pitching edge in this matchup. Ricardo Pinto has easily been one of the worst pitchers in the KBO this season, as he has a 4-12 record, an ERA of nearly seven and has 64 walks to go with 74 strikeouts. Backing Pinto is simply not an option.

I’ll gladly take the Lotte Giants and the cheap price.
