⚾ Starting Pitchers
Kim Gon-woo, SSG. The left-hander has made 21 starts this season, posting a 7-9 record with a 6.22 ERA and a 1.80 WHIP. Over 98⅓ innings, he has allowed 120 hits, issued 57 walks, and surrendered 15 home runs. While his latest outing against LG was solid, his overall numbers suggest a high risk of traffic on the basepaths.
Bae Jae-sung, KT. The righty has appeared in 13 games, including seven starts, with a 1-2 record. He owns a 4.30 ERA and a 1.67 WHIP across 37⅔ innings. Bae also allows a fair number of baserunners but has limited opponents to just three home runs and has been effective in recent relief appearances after opening games.
⭐Editor's Pick
SSG lead the head-to-head, but the run differential of 65:83 paints a more accurate picture of KT’s edge than the win-loss record suggests. The league leaders get a chance to take on Kim Gon-woo, who is carrying a 6.22 ERA and a 1.80 WHIP. The hosts are always a threat with their home run power, so Bae Jae-sun will need solid support from the KT bullpen, but overall, KT’s team ERA is significantly better. Their 16-4 rout of LG proved that the visitors can quickly snap out of any slump offensively. A more consistent season, a potent lineup, and a favorable starting matchup all outweigh SSG’s recent head-to-head success. The best option here looks to be a KT win.
