⚾ Starting Pitchers
Hanwha’s left-hander Ryu Hyun-jin enters with a 9-5 record and a 3.80 ERA. He’s started all 23 of his appearances, working 125⅔ innings while allowing 131 hits, striking out 104, surrendering 63 earned runs, and posting a 1.18 WHIP. Ryu has delivered 10 quality starts this season, though he has yet to register a complete game or shutout. The veteran continues to showcase outstanding command, issuing just 17 walks all year.
KT Wiz counter with righty Bae Je-seong, who stands at 2-2 with a 3.31 ERA. He’s pitched in 16 games, starting 10 of them, tallying 54⅓ innings, 51 hits allowed, 50 strikeouts, 23 earned runs, and a 1.47 WHIP. Bae has recorded two quality starts and, like Ryu, has yet to notch a complete game or shutout. Notably, his last two outings have been stellar: he’s thrown 12 scoreless innings combined against KIA and Lotte.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
Both starting pitchers are capable of delivering solid five or six-inning outings, but the 8.5 run line still looks low for this matchup. In their last 10 head-to-head meetings, these teams have averaged 13.7 runs per game, clearing this line eight times. KT are coming off a 13-run explosion against Hanwha. Bae Jae-seong is in good form, but his season WHIP of 1.47 suggests the hosts will have their chances to get on base. Ryu offers more reliability, but he'll be facing a red-hot offense riding a seven-game winning streak. Once the starters exit, Hanwha’s bullpen ERA of 5.22 increases the likelihood of a high-scoring second half. The smart play here is over 8.5 runs.
