Kia Tigers vs Wiz Prediction 6 September 2026
📡 The opening game of the series went to extra innings, with KIA edging out a 4-3 victory in the tenth. The hosts currently sit fourth in the standings at 64-52-2, while KT lead the KBO with a 69-44-3 record. After a tightly contested Friday matchup, the spotlight shifts to a lefty showdown between Yang Hyeon-jong and Logan Allen, with the latter boasting a 3.23 ERA.
Head-to-Head
📊 The last 10 head-to-head meetings have featured plenty of high-scoring games, yet their most recent clash produced just 7 runs over ten innings. This matchup is known for its unpredictable outcomes: both sides boast powerful offenses that can put up big numbers, but when the starting pitchers are on form, games often turn into tight contests down the stretch. Yesterday, it was the pitchers who kept the score low for most of the game.
Head-to-head statistics Kia Tigers - Wiz
Kia Tigers Team Overview
KIA currently sit fourth in the standings, posting a .272 team batting average, 150 home runs, and a collective ERA of 4.41. Despite their impressive power numbers this season, recent offensive output has been modest: just 2 runs against NC on September 1, another 2 on September 2, and 4 runs over ten innings versus KT. Over their last three completed games, KIA's offense has averaged fewer than three runs per nine innings.
Match Results: Kia Tigers
Wiz Team Overview
KT currently top the standings with a .279 team batting average and a collective ERA of 4.38. Their offense looked sharp against Hanwha before heading to Gwangju, but in the series opener against KIA they managed just three runs over ten innings. The overall balance of the roster is crucial: KT have shown they can win games with pitching and defense alone, so if Allen delivers a solid outing on the mound, they don’t necessarily need to get into a high-scoring shootout.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Yang Hyeon-jong, the lefty for KIA, enters with a 9-6 record and a 4.19 ERA. He’s made 21 appearances, all starts, logging 101 innings with 93 hits allowed, 68 strikeouts, 53 earned runs, and a 1.44 WHIP. He’s delivered just two quality starts this season, with no complete games or shutouts to his name. Notably, his last two outings were well above his season average-he held Kiwoom and Doosan to just one run each.
Logan Allen, the KT left-hander, stands at 5-2 with a 3.23 ERA. Over 11 starts, he’s pitched 61⅓ innings, surrendering 66 hits, striking out 48, and giving up 22 earned runs; his WHIP sits at 1.34. Allen has five quality starts so far, but no complete games or shutouts. In two of his last three appearances, he has limited opponents to no more than two runs.
⭐ Editor's Pick
After yesterday’s 4-3 result, the 9.5 total offers plenty of room even if scoring ticks up a bit. Allen enters with a 3.23 ERA and has kept opposing hitters in check in most recent outings, while Yang Hyeon-jong heads into this matchup off back-to-back appearances allowing just one run each. KIA’s offense hasn’t topped four runs in any of their last three completed games, and KT managed only three runs over ten innings yesterday. Both bullpens were called into action on Friday, but with a high total set, it would take a significant pitching collapse from at least one side to push this game over. Given the current form of both starting pitchers, a repeat of yesterday’s low-scoring affair looks likely. We favour under 9.5 total runs.
