⚾ Starting Pitchers
Chun Chun-phe, the right-hander for Kiwoom, enters with a 0-2 record and a 5.17 ERA: 16 appearances, 6 starts, 38⅓ innings pitched, 34 hits allowed, 25 strikeouts, 23 runs conceded, and a WHIP of 1.83. He has logged just one quality start, with no complete games or shutouts to his name. Control remains a major concern-he’s issued 36 walks against just 25 strikeouts. In his most recent outing against Doosan, he surrendered seven runs over four innings.
NC’s Lee Jae-hak, also a righty, is set for his first top-tier appearance of the 2026 season: 0-0, 0.00 ERA, no games or starts yet, and no innings pitched, so his WHIP is not available. His last KBO start came on October 1, 2024; that year, he went 3-12 with a 5.52 ERA and a 1.44 WHIP across 104⅓ innings, allowing 108 hits, striking out 97, conceding 68 runs, and recording seven quality starts. Ahead of his return in 2026, he made two outings in the Futures League.
⭐ Editor’s Prediction
Lee Jae-hak’s return after a lengthy absence injects a degree of uncertainty for NC in the opening stages, making it risky to base a bet solely on the starting pitching matchup. At the same time, Jeon Chun-pyo doesn’t give Kiwoom much of an edge either-his 1.83 WHIP and negative strikeout-to-walk differential consistently put runners on base against a lineup batting .274. The Dinos have been far more clinical lately, riding a six-game winning streak and already dismantling the formidable An Woo-jin in the series opener. On top of that, NC’s rested bullpen closed out the final three innings without allowing a run last night, while Kiwoom’s relievers once again struggled to keep runners off base. With NC holding a 6-4 advantage and a 52:30 run differential over the last 10 head-to-head meetings, current form only strengthens the visitors’ position. The smart play here is backing an NC Dinos win.
