Head-to-head statistics Wiz - Kiwoom Heroes
KT hold the top spot thanks to the league’s most potent attack and consistently strong performances at home.
The Wiz are enjoying their best season yet in the KBO: 80 wins, top of the standings, and a run differential of 743 to 610. They lead the league with a .281 team batting average and average around 5.6 runs per game. Even after a tough 1-12 loss to LG, they bounced back quickly-posting wins of 15-3 and 9-8 over Doosan, 8-2 against SSG, and edging NC 3-2. Choi Won Jun is hitting .344 with an .892 OPS, while Kim Hyun Soo is batting over .400 across his last ten games. Their potent offense is backed by solid pitching-team ERA sits at 4.24-and a reliable bullpen anchored by Park Young Hyun.
Match Results: Wiz
Kiwum come into Suwon on the back of six straight losses and the league’s worst pitching staff.
The Heroes arrive in Suwon in dire straits. Their 45-86-4 record is the worst in the league, with six consecutive losses and just two wins in their last ten outings. Kiwoom sit bottom of the table in both batting average (.242) and total runs scored (511), while their 769 runs allowed are also a league low. The team’s ERA of 5.33 leaves little margin for error, especially with an offense averaging just 3.8 runs per game. Against KBO’s most explosive lineup, this matchup looks particularly daunting.
Match Results: Kiwoom Heroes
⚾ Starting Pitchers
Bae Je-seong gets the nod for KT. He’s 0-2 this season with a 4.50 ERA. Against Kiwoom, he hasn’t recorded a decision yet, but boasts a spotless 0.00 ERA. While his season numbers are far from stellar, he faces one of the league’s least productive offenses. For KT, it’s crucial that Bae limits free passes and keeps the game under control through the early innings.
Ha Young-min takes the mound for Kiwoom. He’s posted a 3-5 record and a 4.16 ERA this year. Versus KT, he’s 1-0 with an impressive 2.16 ERA. His individual track record against the home side is solid, but KT have been capitalizing on their chances throughout this series. Ha Young-min will need to go deep and deliver quality innings, especially since Kiwoom’s bullpen often finds themselves in tough spots.
⭐ Editor’s Prediction
Even without the starting pitchers confirmed, this matchup clearly favors the home side, based on factors already proven throughout the season. KT boast the best record in the KBO, lead the league with a .281 team batting average, and have scored 232 more runs than their opponents. They’ve also dropped just three of their 14 head-to-head meetings with Kiwoom. The Heroes are on a six-game losing streak and own the league’s worst numbers in runs allowed and ERA (5.33), making it especially tough for them to go nine innings against KT’s deep lineup. KT have claimed seven wins in the last ten head-to-head clashes, and their recent form includes four victories from their last five outings. Even if the game stays close after the opening innings, KT’s superior offense and more reliable bullpen give them multiple paths to see out the result. We’re backing a KT win.
