Hanwha Eagles vs Wiz Prediction 2 July 2026
📡 The opening game of the series in Daejeon saw KT claim a 7-4 victory. The visitors took control in the middle innings and managed to hold onto their lead, although Hanwha had plenty of opportunities to turn the game around. In Game 2, both teams are sending out starting pitchers with mixed records, so the outcome could be heavily influenced before the bullpens even come into play. The weather in Daejeon is calm, and no delays are expected.
Head-to-Head
📊 KT lead the season series 5-2. Yesterday’s game once again highlighted the visitors’ edge in this matchup: Hanwha put up four runs but couldn’t keep pace with KT’s offense. That said, the hosts have hit more home runs over the course of the season and are always capable of turning a game around at home with one explosive inning. Both teams consistently generate scoring opportunities when they go head-to-head.
Head-to-head statistics Hanwha Eagles - Wiz
Hanwha Eagles Team Overview
Hanwha currently sit sixth in the standings with a 37-38-2 record. The team is hitting .272, has launched 89 home runs, and owns a 4.52 ERA. Power remains Hanwha’s biggest asset: they can change the game not only with extended hitting streaks but also with a single clutch swing when runners are on base. However, their pitching staff doesn’t always hold the line, especially after early mistakes from the starter. Yesterday’s four-run showing proved the offense can respond to KT, but a lack of consistency on the mound ultimately cost them the win.
Match Results: Hanwha Eagles
Wiz Team Overview
KT currently sit third in the standings with a 44-32-1 record. The visitors are hitting .285 as a team, have launched 54 home runs, and carry a 4.77 ERA. KT excel at making contact, consistently putting pressure on opposing pitchers without relying solely on the long ball. Their recent 7-4 win showcased this strength: KT found ways to generate offense throughout the lineup, never allowing the hosts back into the contest after a tough stretch. However, with KT’s team ERA still on the higher side, a low-scoring showdown seems unlikely.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Hanwha will send Wang Yan Chen to the mound. He enters the game with a 6-3 record and a 3.59 ERA this season, while against KT he’s 1-0 with a 3.60 ERA. Those are solid numbers, but they don’t make him untouchable-KT’s contact-heavy approach can quickly drive up his pitch count. Hanwha need a quality start without early walks, or the bullpen could be called upon under pressure far too soon.
KT counter with Oh Won Seok. He’s 4-5 with a 5.23 ERA overall, but boasts a 1-0 record and a 1.50 ERA specifically against Hanwha. His head-to-head stats are more impressive than his season line, but that high ERA still signals risk. Facing a lineup with 89 home runs, Oh Won Seok can’t afford to leave pitches over the plate-especially in the early innings.
⭐ Editor’s Prediction
Yesterday, the teams combined for 11 runs, and the conditions remain ripe for another high-scoring contest. KT hold the stronger average in this matchup, while Hanwha have a clear edge in home runs. Both clubs post ERAs above the comfort zone. Oh Won Seok takes the mound with a season ERA of 5.23, while Wang Yan Chen brings more reliable numbers but faces one of the league’s most contact-heavy lineups. The hosts have the power to respond quickly, while the visitors boast lineup depth and consistently put runners on base. The main pick here is over 9.5 total runs.
