Kia Tigers vs Wiz Prediction 4 September 2026
📡 KIA were handed an unexpected day off after their matchup with the NC Dinos was rained out. KT, on the other hand, battled through a high-scoring shootout against Hanwha, coming out on top 13-11 to extend their winning streak to three games and reclaim first place. In Gwangju, the hosts enjoy one of the day's biggest advantages with Adam Oller taking the mound against Bae Jae-seon.
Head-to-Head
📊 KT lead the season series 6-3, so picking Kia goes against the current head-to-head trend. However, this matchup is quite different from the initial encounters: the visitors are sending out a pitcher with a 4.25 ERA overall and a 5.40 ERA against Kia, while Oller is enjoying one of the best campaigns among league starters.
Head-to-head statistics Kia Tigers - Wiz
Kia Tigers Team Overview
KIA sit fourth in the standings with a 63-52-2 record. The team is hitting .272, boasting 150 home runs and a collective ERA of 4.42. Their power numbers are significantly superior to KT’s-150 home runs compared to just 89-and the postponement of the September 3 game kept their entire bullpen fresh heading into the new series.
Match Results: Kia Tigers
Wiz Team Overview
KT lead the series with a 69-43-3 record, boasting a .280 batting average and a 4.39 ERA. The team are riding a three-game winning streak, though their most recent victory demanded a huge effort from the pitching staff-Hanwha racked up 11 runs. KT’s offense is firing on all cylinders at the moment, but after such a taxing outing, the visitors head into the next game with a less-than-ideal bullpen situation.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Adam Oller enters with an 11-9 record and a 3.01 ERA, ranking among the KBO’s top arms this season. He remains the most reliable option in Kia’s Friday rotation, although he has yet to face KT this year.
Bae Je-seong stands at 1-2 with a 4.25 ERA. Against Kia, he is 0-0 with a 5.40 ERA. Given the hosts’ powerful offense and their 150 home runs this season, this head-to-head matchup poses a significant risk for KT.
⭐ Editor's Pick
While KT’s overall quality and a 6-3 lead in the season series suggest caution when backing the hosts, the specific matchup here gives Kia some clear advantages. Oller, with a 3.01 ERA, has proven far more reliable than Bae Jae-seon, and Kia’s lineup boasts significantly more power at the plate. On top of that, Kia come into this one fully rested, while KT are coming off a 13-11 game that taxed their bullpen heavily. If Oller can navigate the early innings, Kia will be well positioned to capitalise against KT’s less dependable starter and their relievers down the stretch. In this matchup, we’re backing a Kia win.
