Kiwoom Heroes vs Landers Prediction 1 August 2026
📡 Kivum kicked off the series with a 12-7 victory, taking the lead in the season head-to-head. The matchup once again showcased its high-scoring potential: the teams combined for 27 hits and cleared the 7.5-run line well before the late innings. The new starting pitching duel remains highly vulnerable-Shota Takeda carries an ERA north of seven, while Kim Yun Ha sits above six.
Head-to-Head

The opening game of the series produced 19 runs, with the home side consistently capitalizing on their opponents’ pitching struggles.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Kim Yun-ha gets the start for Kiwoom. He enters the game with a 1-1 record and a 6.35 ERA this season. While he has yet to allow an earned run against SSG, the sample size is too small to draw conclusions. His high overall ERA poses a concern against an SSG lineup that has already launched 109 home runs.
Shota Takeda takes the mound for SSG. He’s struggled with a 1-8 record and a 7.10 ERA on the year. Against Kiwoom, he’s 0-1 with a 7.45 ERA. Those numbers underline why Kiwoom’s bats are expected to stay hot at home. Takeda will need to dramatically limit hits and free passes after SSG surrendered 12 runs in their previous outing.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
The 7.5 line calls for at least eight runs, but with these starting pitchers, even such a high total looks within reach. Kim Yun Ha enters with a 6.35 ERA and faces an SSG lineup that has already hit 109 home runs this season. Takeda owns a 7.10 ERA on the year and a 7.45 mark against Kiwoom, while the visitors’ bullpen posts a collective 5.63 ERA. The series opener produced a wild 19-run shootout, underlining both teams’ ability to keep the scoreboard ticking in an open contest. With the roof closed, weather won’t be a factor and we’re guaranteed a full nine innings. Even if the clubs don’t match yesterday’s 27 hits, the quality of starting and relief pitching still leaves plenty of room for a double-digit total. Back the over 7.5 runs here.
