Dinos vs Landers Prediction 20 June 2026
📡 NC Dinos kicked off the series in style, cruising past SSG with a 9-3 win in a game that was called after six innings. For the hosts, this result sends a strong message: their offense is finding its rhythm, while SSG once again showed cracks on the mound. The weather forecast in Changwon is concerning, but if the game goes ahead, the starting pitching matchup raises plenty of questions for the visitors.
Head-to-Head
📊 NC Dinos now lead the season series 3-2-1. Heading into the last game, the head-to-head matchup was almost dead even, but a 9-3 victory tipped the scales in favor of the home side. SSG remain a threat with their home run power, but against NC Dinos, their shaky pitching has increasingly become a decisive weakness.
Head-to-head statistics Dinos - Landers
Dinos Team Overview
NC Dinos currently sit sixth in the standings with a 32-34-1 record. Boasting a team batting average of .279, 62 home runs, and a 4.47 ERA, the hosts have shown they can apply pressure both with power hitting and consistent contact at the plate. Their recent 9-3 victory was a convincing follow-up to a strong run of form, as the Dinos quickly punished SSG and never let their opponents back into the contest. Maintaining this momentum will be crucial for NC Dinos, especially against a side struggling with their pitching numbers.

SSG Landers Team Overview
SSG hold a 27-40-2 record and have slipped to ninth place. Their team batting average of .261 and 72 home runs provide some offensive firepower, but a 5.62 ERA remains one of their main concerns this season. After a 3-9 defeat, the visitors once again found themselves in a familiar position: the lineup can generate threats, but the pitching staff surrenders games far too easily. This is particularly risky against NC Dinos, as the hosts are capitalizing on opponents’ mistakes and rarely settle for just one big inning.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Kim Jun-won gets the nod for NC Dinos. He enters with a 0-0 record and a spotless 0.00 ERA this season, and he’s also yet to allow a run against SSG. The sample size is admittedly small, so these numbers aren’t a true indicator of what to expect. Still, as a fresh arm in the rotation, Kim offers NC a bit of unpredictability-potentially limiting the information SSG hitters have and helping the hosts keep early traffic off the bases.
Thomas Hatch will take the mound for SSG. His season stats stand at 0-0 with an 8.31 ERA, and he’s yet to face NC Dinos officially. For the visitors, this is a high-risk start: Hatch has yet to find consistent success in the KBO, and his elevated ERA from early outings raises concerns. Facing a lineup that just put up nine runs in their last game, Hatch will be under real pressure from the first pitch.
⭐ Editor’s Prediction
SSG possess plenty of power at the plate, but there are simply too many factors working against the visitors in this matchup. NC Dinos took the opener 9-3, now lead the season series 3-2-1, come into this game in better form, and will face a team with a collective ERA of 5.62. Hatch, starting for SSG, has struggled with an 8.31 ERA and hasn’t offered much stability-especially worrying against a lineup already finding its rhythm. For the hosts, Kim Jun-won isn’t a lock for a deep, trouble-free start either, but his clean stat line at least doesn’t carry the same red flags. Unless rain becomes a factor, NC Dinos have more ways to win here: early pressure, exploiting SSG’s starter, and keeping up the intensity against the bullpen. The editorial pick is a NC Dinos win.
