Lotte Giants vs Landers Prediction 16 September 2026
📡 SSG climb to seventh place after a 6-3 win over KIA, improving their record to 55-69-5. Lotte remain ninth following a 7-3 defeat to Samsung, sitting at 53-70-2. The pitching matchup highlights a sharper contrast than the standings: the visitors send Pedro Avila to the mound with a 1.41 ERA, while the hosts counter with Jeremy Beasley, who holds a 5.15 ERA.
Head-to-Head
📊 The last 10 head-to-head meetings have been almost dead even: Lotte have claimed five wins, SSG have taken four, and one game ended in a draw. The season series is just as close at 7-7-1. As a result, the head-to-head stats alone don’t give the visitors much of an edge, making the starting pitching matchup the key factor in this clash.

SSG Landers Team Overview
SSG are batting .258 and carry a high team ERA of 5.29, but their 131 home runs help offset some of their pitching woes with sheer power at the plate. On Tuesday, they defeated KIA 6-3, scoring five runs in a single fifth inning. Today's matchup looks more favorable, primarily because Avila-currently SSG's most reliable starter-takes the mound for the offense.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Jeremy Beasley, the right-hander for Lotte, enters with a 9-6 record and a 5.15 ERA. He’s made 24 starts this season, logging 131 innings, allowing 150 hits, striking out 138, conceding 79 runs, and posting a 1.44 WHIP. Beasley has delivered 10 quality starts, but has yet to record a complete game or a shutout. In his most recent outing, he was tagged for nine runs over just four innings.
Pedro Avila, the righty for SSG, boasts a 6-1 record with an impressive 1.41 ERA. He’s started all 10 of his appearances, pitching 64 innings with 45 hits allowed, 64 strikeouts, 13 runs given up, and a stellar 1.00 WHIP. Avila has notched nine quality starts, one complete game, and one shutout. Over his last three outings, he’s surrendered just a single run across 22 innings of work.
⭐ Editor’s Prediction
The disparity between the starting pitchers gives SSG a clear path to victory here. Avila boasts a 1.41 ERA, a 1.00 WHIP, and has delivered nine quality starts in ten outings, recently shutting down opposing lineups almost entirely in his last three appearances. Beasley, meanwhile, carries a 1.44 WHIP and is coming off a rough outing where he allowed nine runs in just four innings, so the visitors are well-positioned to seize an early advantage. The head-to-head record over the last 10 meetings is nearly even, which prevents this matchup from looking completely one-sided, but the current form of the starters is worlds apart. If Avila can go deep into the game again, SSG should be able to limit the impact of their shaky bullpen. We’re backing an SSG win.
