⚾ Starting Pitchers
Hanwha’s lefty, Wang Yancheng, enters with a 10-5 record and a 3.86 ERA. He’s made 24 starts this season, logging 123⅔ innings with 132 hits allowed, 96 strikeouts, 67 earned runs, and a 1.50 WHIP. While he’s delivered seven quality starts, he has yet to throw a complete game or a shutout. Overall, it’s been a solid campaign, though the elevated WHIP suggests he allows plenty of baserunners.
LG’s right-hander Carlos Carrasco has started six games, posting a 4-1 record with a 3.47 ERA. Over 36⅓ innings, he’s given up just 29 hits, struck out 25 batters, and surrendered 16 runs, with an impressive 0.85 WHIP. He’s registered five quality starts, with no complete games or shutouts. Remarkably, Carrasco has issued only two walks in those 36⅓ innings-highlighting his command and ability to limit free passes.
⭐ Editor’s Prediction
Hanwha’s current run makes this matchup far more competitive than the league standings suggest, and the last 10 head-to-head meetings also favor the hosts. However, LG hold a crucial edge thanks to Carrasco: his 0.85 WHIP compared to Wang Yancheng’s 1.50, five quality starts in six outings, and almost no walks provide the visitors with a solid foundation early on. Less than three weeks ago, LG cruised to a 12-3 win in Daejeon with Carrasco on the mound. After the starters exit, LG’s advantage continues thanks to a more consistent bullpen, while Hanwha’s relievers have a home ERA of 4.53. LG’s recent three-game skid came at home; they’ve won their last two on the road. We’re backing an LG win here.
