⚾ Starting Pitchers
Ko Young-pyo gets the nod for KT. He enters with an 8-6 record and a 3.88 ERA this season, while his numbers against Hanwha stand at 0-1 with a 4.50 ERA. For Ko, limiting free passes will be crucial against the visitors’ dangerous middle order. With the home lineup providing run support, Ko doesn’t need to be flawless, but he does need to keep things level through the middle innings.
Owen White takes the mound for Hanwha. He’s posted a 6-6 mark and a 3.20 ERA so far, going 1-1 with a 3.12 ERA against KT. White has generally handled this matchup well, but the hosts have shown they can quickly capitalize on lapses in command. He’ll need to avoid traffic on the bases and take some pressure off Hanwha’s bullpen.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
White has the tools to slow down KT’s offense, but the hosts’ current form gives them several paths to victory. KT are riding a five-game winning streak, have claimed seven of their last ten head-to-head meetings with Hanwha, and have been more efficient with runners on base in the first two games of this series. Ko Young-pyo may trail White in ERA, but he benefits from a more consistent lineup and a team that currently sits atop the standings. Hanwha can generate hits, but pitching mistakes in a single inning have already twice allowed KT to seize control. The main pick for this matchup is a KT win.
