Wiz vs Lotte Giants Prediction 3 October 2026
📡 In Suwon, two of the KBO’s hottest teams go head-to-head: KT and Lotte have each racked up eight wins in their last ten games. The Wiz sit atop the standings at 84-49-4, while the Giants have climbed to 61-72-2 and are coming off back-to-back victories. On the mound, Ko Young-pyo and Jeremy Beasley-two starters with the ability to keep this one close and prevent the favorites from pulling away early-are set to duel.
The Giants have already beaten KT three times in Suwon during their recent head-to-head stretch.
📊 KT have come out on top in six of the last 10 head-to-head meetings, but Lotte have answered back with four wins of their own. Suwon stands out in particular: during this stretch, the Giants have posted victories here by scores of 8-1, 4-0, and 4-1. Another clash ended in a narrow 5-4 decision, so Lotte have repeatedly either toppled the league leaders or pushed them to the limit right up to the final out.

The KBO leaders head into the series riding a four-game winning streak, with Ko Young-pyo set to start.

Their season batting average of .283 remains among the KBO's elite, while the team ERA stands at 4.28. On home turf, they have compiled an impressive 42-24-1 mark.

⚾ Starting Pitchers

Over 158.2 innings, he has allowed 156 hits and 64 runs while striking out 170 batters. He has delivered 17 quality starts, though he is yet to record a complete game or a shutout. With just 21 walks all season, Ko demonstrates excellent command on the mound.
Jeremy Beasley, the righty for Lotte, enters with a 10-7 record, a 4.81 ERA, and a 1.40 WHIP. He has made 26 starts, logging 144 innings, surrendering 159 hits and 81 runs while collecting 157 strikeouts and 12 quality starts. Like Ko, Beasley has no complete games or shutouts to his name. Notably, he pitched 13 innings across his last two outings before the break, conceding only two runs.
⭐ Editor’s Prediction
Lotte face a tough opponent in Ko Young-pyo, but the (+1.5) run line means the Giants don’t need a win to deliver. Both teams are coming in hot at 8-2 over their last ten, and Beasley enters this matchup after back-to-back solid starts-just two runs allowed over 13 innings. In their last ten head-to-head meetings, Lotte have beaten KT four times, with three of those victories coming in Suwon, proving they can neutralize the Wiz’s home-field advantage. Following a league-wide day off, the visitors also have a fresh bullpen, so a strong outing from Beasley could keep this game close deep into the late innings. Given Lotte’s current form, that extra run looks especially valuable. The pick: Lotte +1.5.
