Wiz vs Landers Prediction 8 September 2026
📡 KT remain in second place with a 69-46-3 record, but head into Monday’s break on the back of three straight losses to KIA-falling 3-4, 3-6, and 3-8. SSG sit eighth at 52-67-5, though they have claimed seven wins in their last 10 outings. However, their recent run was snapped on Sunday with a 9-16 defeat to Doosan. The starting pitching matchup features So Hyeon-jun against Kim Gon-woo.
Head-to-Head
📊 In the last 10 head-to-head meetings, KT have claimed five wins, SSG have taken four victories, and there’s been one draw. KT also hold a clear edge in runs, outscoring their rivals 75 to 54, with the average total reaching 12.9 runs per game. However, the two most recent encounters have been much tighter affairs: a 3-3 draw and a narrow 3-1 win for KT, meaning the margin between the sides didn’t exceed two runs in either contest.
Head-to-head statistics Wiz - Landers
Wiz Team Overview
KT boast a .279 batting average, a team ERA of 4.40, and have slugged 90 home runs this season. Their 69-46-3 record keeps them firmly in the title race, but their recent series against KIA ended with three straight defeats. In each of those games, the offense was held to just three runs, while the margin of defeat widened from 4-3 to 8-3. A day off on Monday gives the bullpen a chance to regroup, yet KT’s current form no longer matches the strength their position in the standings suggests.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
KT’s right-hander So Hyeon-jun enters with a 6-3 record, a 3.55 ERA, and a 1.32 WHIP. Over 18 starts, he’s logged 101⅓ innings, allowed 115 hits, struck out 82, and conceded 44 runs. He’s delivered 10 quality starts this season but has yet to complete a game or record a shutout. In his most recent outing, So gave up four runs over five innings. In his previous two starts, he lasted at least five frames, allowing two and six runs respectively.
SSG’s lefty Kim Gon-woo holds an 8-9 record with a 6.06 ERA and a 1.71 WHIP. All 24 of his appearances have been as a starter, pitching 114⅓ innings, surrendering 132 hits, striking out 98, and giving up 88 runs. He’s posted five quality starts this year, with no complete games or shutouts to his name. Notably, Kim has shown improvement over his last four outings-only once during that stretch did he allow more than four runs.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
KT have the edge early thanks to the opening hill, and that’s the main concern for SSG. However, the +1.5 run spread significantly lowers the bar for the visitors. SSG have won seven of their last 10 games and boast a more powerful home-run offense, while KT are coming off a break after dropping three straight, scoring exactly three runs in each of those losses. Kim Gon-woo has been inconsistent this season, but his recent outings have been steadier than his overall 6.06 ERA suggests. The head-to-head record over the last 10 meetings is tight-SSG trail 4-5-1, with the last two games ending in draws or being decided by just two runs. Both bullpens are fully rested after a day off, which should help the visitors keep things close once the starters exit. Here, we’re backing SSG with a +1.5 run handicap.
