Wiz vs Lotte Giants Prediction 4 July 2026
📡 KT enter Game 2 of the series after a shutout defeat to Lotte, falling 0-4. The hosts failed to capitalize on their chances, while the visitors effectively locked down crucial stretches and enjoyed a rare, comfortable outing without any late-game drama. In Suwon, both sides are sending pitchers to the mound whose season stats suggest there’s room for mistakes, so much will hinge on which lineup settles in offensively first.
Head-to-Head
📊 Lotte lead the season series 3-2. The opening game of this set was a low-scoring affair, but the overall matchup is far from a defensive stalemate. KT feature one of the most contact-heavy offenses in the league, while Lotte often rely on their bats to make up for pitching shortcomings. Another key factor is the hosts’ motivation to bounce back after being shut out last time.
Head-to-head statistics Wiz - Lotte Giants
Wiz Team Overview
KT are riding high near the top of the standings and boast one of the league’s best batting averages at .283. They’ve already hit 54 home runs, though their 4.88 ERA remains a concern. The recent 0-4 loss doesn’t truly reflect KT’s overall offensive firepower. This lineup rarely goes two games in a row without making a significant impact. Back home in Suwon, KT will look to put runners on early and prevent Lotte from dictating a slow, comfortable pace once again.

Lotte Giants Team Overview
Lotte sit in the lower half of the standings, but yesterday they proved they can hold their own against top-tier opposition. The team is batting .256 on average, with 63 home runs and a 4.49 ERA. While the visitors may not have KT's offensive depth, they can still cause problems with timely hitting and aggressive baserunning. After a 4-0 win, Lotte are riding a wave of confidence and won’t head to Suwon just looking to protect a narrow lead.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Ko Young-Pyo gets the nod for KT. He’s 6-5 this season with a 4.50 ERA, but against Lotte he’s unbeaten at 1-0 with a 1.80 ERA. His head-to-head numbers against the visitors are impressive, yet his overall season stats raise some concerns, especially with KT’s bullpen having logged heavy innings in recent days. If Lotte manage to get to him early, this game could open up quickly.
Jeremy Beasley starts for Lotte. He’s posted a 4-4 record with a 4.71 ERA on the year, but has shut down KT in their only meeting with a 1-0 record and a spotless 0.00 ERA. Yesterday’s result gives the visitors a mental edge, but Beasley still faces one of the league’s most potent lineups when it comes to quality contact. He’ll need to work the edges of the zone with precision, otherwise, KT are likely to cash in on their chances.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Last night’s shutout shouldn’t distract from the bigger picture in this matchup. KT are hitting at a .283 clip, while Lotte continue to struggle with inconsistent pitching. Both sides are sending starters to the mound whose season ERAs hover around 4.50 or higher. After being blanked, the hosts will be under pressure to generate early runs, and Lotte have already demonstrated they can put KT’s pitching under strain. With this starting pitching duel and KT’s need to bounce back quickly, this game could open up by the middle innings. The best bet here looks to be the over 8.5 total runs.
