Wiz vs Kiwoom Heroes Prediction 14 August 2026
📡 The league leaders return home to kick off a new series after suffering back-to-back defeats against NC Dinos, while Kiwoom travel to Suwon following a tough 6-13 loss to LG. Both teams conceded plenty of runs on Thursday, and tonight’s starting pitchers could leave the door open for more offense. KT have been the stronger side throughout the season, but Ko Young-pyo hasn’t always managed to keep opposing bats quiet in recent outings.
Head-to-Head
📊 KT lead the season series 8-2 with one draw. The league leaders consistently capitalize on Kivum’s weak pitching, as his team ERA has climbed to 5.13. However, the hosts also struggle to lock down their pitching staff, posting a 4.42 ERA, which means the visitors are more than capable of contributing to the scoreboard.

Kiwoom sit in tenth place with a 39-66-2 record. The team is batting .245, has hit 75 home runs, and owns a 5.13 ERA. On Thursday, the visitors scored six runs but gave up 13 to LG. The high-scoring nature of Kiwoom’s games largely comes down to a combination of shaky pitching and an offense that still manages to put up runs, even against strong opposition.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Ko Young-pyo gets the nod for KT. He’s posted a 9-6 record with a 3.64 ERA this season-well above the team average-giving the hosts a real chance to dictate the early innings. Still, Kiwoom put up six runs last time out, so Ko will need to keep the visitors from stringing together big innings.
Park Jun-hyeon will start for Kiwoom. He’s struggled to a 1-5 record and a 4.99 ERA this year. Park faces a tough assignment against the league leaders, who are hitting .280 and looking for an offensive bounce-back after two straight defeats. If Park can’t find some early stability, Kiwoom may have to turn to their bullpen sooner rather than later.
⭐ Editor’s Prediction
Ko Young-pyo may limit the visitors’ production, but the chosen line doesn’t require both teams to be equally prolific. KT are batting .280 on average and face Park Chun-hyeon, who carries a 4.99 ERA, with Kiwoom’s bullpen not faring much better at a collective 5.13 ERA. After back-to-back losses, the hosts should have plenty of chances to put together a productive offensive stretch. At the same time, Kiwoom have just put up six runs against LG and are capable of adding a few more even if Ko Young-pyo gets off to a strong start. On Thursday, these teams combined for 11 and 19 runs in their games, highlighting the current vulnerability on the mound. The most reasonable prediction here is over 9.5 total runs.
