⚾ Starting Pitchers
Chun Chun Phe, a right-hander, has appeared in 16 games this season with six starts, posting an 0-2 record and a 5.17 ERA. Over 38.1 innings, he has allowed 34 hits and 23 runs, striking out 25 with a WHIP of 1.83. He has registered just one quality start and has yet to complete a full game or record a shutout. His most recent outing against Doosan was rough-he gave up seven runs in just four innings.Lee Jae Hak, also a right-hander, has yet to make an appearance in the 2026 KBO regular season, so he currently has no official W-L record, ERA, or WHIP at this level. In the Futures League, he made two starts, going 0-1 with an 8.31 ERA over 4.1 innings, surrendering seven hits while striking out five and allowing four runs. His current form remains the biggest unknown heading into this matchup.
⭐️ Editor's Pick
The uncertainty surrounding Lee Jae-hak remains the main risk for backing the visitors, as NC are effectively going into this one without a proven starter from their regular rotation. However, the hosts don’t have the edge on the mound either-Jeon Chun-phe comes in with a 5.17 ERA, a 1.83 WHIP, and is fresh off allowing seven runs in just four innings in his latest outing. Over the course of the game, the gap between these teams looks far more significant: NC are riding a six-game winning streak, boast a much stronger offense than Kiwoom, and just yesterday claimed a 6-1 win over this opponent with 13 hits. NC also lead the last 10 head-to-head meetings 6-4, outscoring Kiwoom 52-30, and their bullpen confidently closed out the previous game. Our pick is for an NC Dinos win.
