⚾️ Starting Pitchers
Lotte are likely to start Jeremy Beasley on the mound. His current stats are impressive - 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA, making him a key factor in the hosts' hopes for a different outcome compared to Friday.
SSG will counter with Kim Gun-woo. He has also started the season well, boasting a 1-0 record with a 3.60 ERA. However, purely by the numbers, Lotte's pitcher appears slightly more convincing on paper.
Editor's Prediction
This is a scenario where you can't simply transfer the previous scoreline (17-2) to the next game, as Lotte now has a much stronger starting position on the mound. However, there's no need to drastically change the assessment of the matchup either: SSG have been stronger throughout the season, appear more cohesive as a team, and have already shown in the first game of the series that they can exploit the hosts' weaknesses with minimal delay. Nevertheless, this match is almost certain to be much closer than the previous day, and if Jeremy Beasley can indeed provide the hosts with solid first five or six innings, Lotte will be able to stay competitive until the very end. Our primary prediction is a victory for SSG Landers.
