Doosan Bears vs Landers Prediction 8 July 2026
📡 SSG pulled off a surprise victory in the first game of the series at Jamsil, defeating Doosan 4-2. Doosan managed to keep SSG at bay for most of the game, but SSG added two more runs in the eighth inning and maintained their slim lead until the final out. In the second matchup, the hosts will have a significantly more reliable starting pitcher, but the overall pitching situation suggests a more open contest than the previous game.
Head-to-Head
📊 After their 4-2 victory, SSG lead the season series 4-3. Despite having the upper hand in team ERA, Doosan have yet to capitalize on this advantage, while SSG have once again demonstrated their ability to offset pitching issues with power hitting and timely contact. This upcoming game is crucial for the hosts as they aim to even the series. However, yesterday's six runs shouldn't be misleading: both lineups have the potential to step up against SSG's less reliable starting rotation.
Head-to-head statistics Doosan Bears - Landers
Doosan Bears Team Overview
Doosan hold the fifth spot with a record of 42-41-2. The team is batting .268, has hit 61 home runs, and boasts an ERA of 3.95. The hosts are notably more reliable on the mound, but in the opening game of the series, they failed to capitalize on six hits, scoring only two runs. Doosan rarely go scoreless in back-to-back games, especially at home. Against an SSG starter with a high season ERA, the hosts should be more proactive in putting runners on base early in the innings.

SSG Landers Team Overview
SSG sit ninth with a record of 31-50-3. The team boasts a .262 batting average, 92 home runs, and an ERA of 5.87. They trail Doosan in pitching quality, but their power hitting remains their primary weapon. A 4-2 victory demonstrated that SSG can maintain a slim lead, but to replicate this outcome, they need more consistency from their starting pitcher. The high team ERA makes the game susceptible to early scoring.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Kwak Bin will take the mound for Doosan. This season, he boasts a 7-3 record with a 2.70 ERA. Against SSG, he holds a 1-1 record and a 3.00 ERA. It's a strong start for the home team, but SSG, with their 92 home runs, can quickly capitalize on any mistakes in the zone. It's crucial for Kwak Bin to prevent runners from getting on base before allowing any long hits.
Chung Yong Jun will start for SSG. He has a 1-0 record this season with a 6.75 ERA. Against Doosan, he has no wins or losses yet but carries a daunting 27.00 ERA. The visiting starter needs to avoid giving up a big inning early, as Doosan are adept at working the zone and increasing the pitch count.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Yesterday, the teams combined for six runs, but the conditions for the second game are markedly different. Dusan have a chance to quickly respond after a lackluster performance, while Cheong Yeong Jun takes the mound with an ERA of 6.75 and a poor personal record against the hosts. SSG boast 92 home runs and already demonstrated in the series opener that they can pose problems even against Dusan's reliable pitching. If the hosts capitalize on their opportunities against the visitors' starter, the game could open up before the midway point. The bet for this matchup is over 8.5 total runs.
