Landers vs Wiz Prediction 22 August 2026
đĄ The opening game of the series ended with no winner, as both teams battled through 11 innings to a 3-3 draw. For KT, it was a missed opportunity, but the league leaders still hold a clear edge over SSG in terms of overall season consistency. The second matchup is expected to be even tougher, with the hosts sending Pedro Avila to the mound as their starter. Still, KTâs depth remains the main factor behind this prediction.
Head-to-Head
đ SSG lead the season head-to-head with a 7-5 record and one draw. Fridayâs game reinforced just how tricky this matchup is for KT: the league leaders failed to capitalize on their chances, even after 11 innings. Still, the draw doesnât change the bigger picture-KT have shown far greater consistency over the course of the season, and the gap between these teams in the standings remains substantial.
Head-to-head statistics Landers - Wiz
SSG Landers Team Overview
SSG hold a 45-63-5 record and currently sit ninth in the standings. The team is batting .262 and their ERA stands at 5.60, but with 121 home runs, their lineup still packs plenty of power. The main concern remains pitching depth over the long haul, as SSG consistently give up too many runs. However, in the opening game, their pitching staff stepped up, limiting KT to just three runs over 11 innings-well above their usual standards.

Wiz Team Overview
KT hold a 63-41-3 record, boasting a .280 team batting average-one of the leagueâs best-and a 4.44 ERA, which is significantly stronger than SSGâs mark. While KT have hit just 80 home runs, their offense excels at stringing together hits and getting on base, making them more effective at manufacturing runs. After being limited to just three runs on Friday by one of the leagueâs most potent lineups, itâs reasonable to expect KT to bounce back with a more efficient offensive performance.

âž Starting Pitchers
Pedro Avila enters with a 4-0 record and a 1.54 ERA. He hasn't factored into a decision against KT this season yet. Avila has made a tremendous start to his KBO career, and the home side's ace is the key risk factor for anyone backing KT.
Logan Allen stands at 4-1 with a 3.26 ERA. He also hasn't recorded a decision against SSG so far. While Allen's numbers aren't quite as impressive as Avila's, he consistently provides the league leaders with a reliable start, often putting the outcome in the hands of their lineup and bullpen depth.
â Editor's Pick
Avilaâs impressive form adds an extra layer of intrigue to this matchup, making things far less straightforward than the league standings might suggest. Still, games arenât won in just the first six innings: KT boast a stronger overall record this season, a higher team batting average, and a far more reliable pitching staff. Fridayâs 3-3 draw showed SSG can put up a fight, but it will be tough for them to replicate such a near-flawless pitching display with a team ERA of 5.60. KT have greater depth and more options late in the game, so the most reasonable prediction is a KT win.
