⚾ Starting Pitchers
Wes Benjamin gets the nod for Doosan. He’s 4-7 this season with a 2.48 ERA, and against LG he’s 0-1 with a 4.15 ERA. His win-loss record doesn’t truly reflect the quality of his pitching; his ERA is significantly better than his counterpart’s. Benjamin needs to keep LG’s top order in check and hold the game level until the late-inning relievers take over.
Anders Tolhurst will start for LG. He’s 9-8 on the year with a 4.19 ERA, and against Doosan he’s 0-1 with a 5.84 ERA. In their head-to-head meetings, Doosan have posed more of a threat to Tolhurst than most teams this season. For Tolhurst, it’s crucial to limit free passes and prevent Doosan from building an early lead before the game reaches the middle innings.
⭐ Editor’s Prediction
LG have dominated most of the recent head-to-heads, but their offense hasn’t lived up to that edge in this series. Dusan have already claimed one win and salvaged another game, while their team ERA is significantly lower. Benjamin outperforms Tolhurst in season ERA and benefits from more reliable bullpen support overall. Even with limited runs, the hosts are capable of keeping things level and taking control once the starters exit. Tolhurst has struggled against Dusan in the past, increasing the chances of an early lead for the home side. Our pick for this matchup is a Dusan win.
