Kiwoom Heroes vs LG Twins Prediction 13 August 2026
📡 Kivum responded to their 3-8 defeat with a surprising 4-3 victory, denying LG an early series win. For Game 3, the hosts are sending Raul Alcantara to the mound with a 3.35 ERA, while the visitors counter with Anders Tolhurst, who has a 4.53 ERA. Kivum’s early edge on the mound is offset by the clear gap in offensive firepower and overall pitching depth between the two teams.
Head-to-Head
📊 LG lead the season series 9-5. In the two games of the current matchup, the teams have combined for 11 and seven runs, respectively. Kiwum have already beaten one of the top sides five times, but LG still hold a significant advantage over the course of the season and consistently put pressure on the hosts’ pitching.

Kiwoom Heroes Team Overview
Kiwoom remain in tenth place with a 39-65-2 record. The team is batting .244, has hit 73 home runs, and owns a 5.08 ERA. Their 4-3 win was a solid response after a heavy loss in the series opener. However, the home side’s pitching staff continues to look vulnerable, and against a more potent offense, every early baserunner adds to the pressure.

LG Twins Team Overview
LG sit third in the standings with a 56-46-1 record. They’re hitting .269 as a team, have launched 94 home runs, and carry a 4.88 ERA. The visitors hold a significant edge over Kiwoom in both batting average and power numbers, but they’ve already conceded seven runs over the first two games of the series. After a narrow 3-4 defeat, their offense needs to be more productive with runners on base.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Raul Alcantara gets the nod for Kiwoom. He’s 8-6 on the season with a 3.35 ERA-a mark that stands out compared to the home side’s overall pitching numbers. Alcantara gives Kiwoom a real chance to avoid an early collapse. His key task will be to keep runners off base ahead of LG’s most dangerous hitters.
Anders Tolhurst takes the mound for LG. He’s 9-9 this year with a 4.53 ERA, a stat line that doesn’t promise a stress-free start-especially after Kiwoom claimed victory in their previous head-to-head. Tolhurst needs to limit extra-base hits and keep his team from having to turn to the bullpen too early.
⭐ Editor’s Prediction
Alcantara is certainly capable of delivering a strong start, but this matchup is about much more than just one pitcher. Kiwum’s ERA stands at 5.08, LG’s at 4.88, and Tolhurst himself opens the game with a 4.53 ERA. The visitors boast a clear edge in both batting average and home runs, so after putting up three runs on Wednesday, they look poised to boost their offensive output even further. Kiwum, meanwhile, have already shown they can capitalize against LG’s pitching, racking up seven runs across the first two games of the series. To clear this line, they simply need to match their Game 1 production or add just two more runs to their Game 2 tally. Our pick: over 8.5 total runs.
