⚾ Starting Pitchers
Jeremy Beasley gets the nod for Lotte. He enters the game with a 7-4 record and a 4.02 ERA this season. Against Samsung, he’s posted a 1-0 mark and a spotless 0.00 ERA. Beasley’s individual numbers are the key argument in favor of the home side. He’s already proven he can contain the league leaders’ potent lineup and keep the scoreline manageable.
Austin Voth will take the mound for Samsung. He’s 0-1 on the year with a 3.60 ERA, and doesn’t have a full head-to-head track record against Lotte yet. While Voth’s overall ERA is slightly better, he faces a lineup that just put up seven runs the previous night. His main challenge will be preventing Lotte’s top order from heating up early once again.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Beasley gives Lotte a genuine shot at keeping things close and boasts an impressive personal record against Samsung. However, the visitors have shown greater consistency across all key team metrics. Samsung sit atop the league, hitting .278, and hold clear advantages in both home runs and ERA. The opening game of the series proved that this lineup can put up nine runs even when the hosts push back hard. If Watt can simply deliver a solid outing, Samsung won’t need another offensive explosion to get the win. In the later innings, the depth of their batting order and more reliable pitching should once again tip the balance in their favor. The main pick here is a Samsung win.
