⚾ Starting Pitchers
Natsuki Toda, a right-hander for NC, enters with a 7-8 record, a 4.86 ERA, and a 1.52 WHIP. He’s appeared in 23 games, starting 22 of them, and has thrown 120⅓ innings, allowing 143 hits, striking out 90, and giving up 73 runs. Toda has delivered eight quality starts and completed one full game, though he has yet to record a shutout. In his last three outings, he’s been consistent, surrendering 2, 3, and 2 runs respectively.
Park Se-woong, the righty for Lotte, has started all 21 of his appearances this season, posting a 2-9 record with a 4.99 ERA and a 1.53 WHIP. Over 115⅓ innings, he’s allowed 136 hits, struck out 102 batters, and conceded 72 runs. Park has nine quality starts to his name but no complete games or shutouts. His most recent start was a tough one-he was tagged for seven runs and ten hits over 5⅔ innings against Samsung.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
While the starting pitchers’ season stats are fairly even, their recent form tells a different story. Toda has held opponents to three runs or fewer in his last three outings, whereas Park Se-woong is coming off a rough start, having allowed seven runs and now sits at 2-9 on the season. The gulf between the teams is even more pronounced: NC have won seven of their last 10, while Lotte have managed just one win in that span and conceded 33 runs in their most recent series. The head-to-head over the last 10 meetings is split, but the season series stands at 9-5 in favour of the Dinos. With a rested bullpen after a day off, the hosts are well-positioned to press their advantage if the starting matchup remains tight. We’re backing an NC Dinos win.
