Hanwha Eagles vs LG Twins Prediction 23 August 2026
📡 Both teams have enjoyed an extra day of rest after Saturday’s clash in Daejeon was called off due to rain. As a result, Friday’s high-scoring showdown remains the main point of reference, with Hanwha rallying from an early 0-7 deficit to claim a 15-11 victory. Now, LG turn to Carlos Carrasco on the mound, and the quality of his starting pitching is expected to be one of the key factors that could set this game apart.
Head-to-Head
📊 Hanwha lead the season series 7-5. The last game was anything but ordinary: LG racked up 15 hits and 11 runs, but even that wasn’t enough to overcome the hosts’ 20-hit outburst. Hanwha’s head-to-head advantage is worth noting, but LG’s Friday loss can’t be pinned on their offense-the game slipped away primarily due to pitching struggles.
Head-to-head statistics Hanwha Eagles - LG Twins
Hanwha Eagles Team Overview
Hanwha stand at 49-56-3 on the season. The team is hitting .277, with 132 home runs and a collective ERA of 4.92. Their win over LG snapped a three-game losing streak, highlighted by one of their most explosive offensive displays of the year-15 runs on 20 hits. The hosts clearly have significant power at the plate, but a lack of consistency over the long haul keeps them anchored in the bottom half of the standings.
Match Results: Hanwha Eagles
LG Twins Team Overview
LG enter this matchup with a 60-50-1 record, a .268 batting average, a 4.95 ERA, and 103 home runs. While they've dropped their last two games, the offense bounced back quickly after a heavy 4-16 defeat to KT, putting up 11 runs against Hanwha. Their 15 hits on Friday underscored that the lineup remains productive, and the unexpected day off following Saturday’s rainout gave their pitching staff some much-needed rest.

⚾ Projected Starting Pitchers
Pak Chun Young enters with a 1-0 record and a 4.50 ERA. Against LG, his ERA sits at 4.63, though he hasn't factored into a decision yet. For Hanwha, he’s a serviceable option but not the kind of starter you’d count on to consistently shut down a lineup that just racked up 15 hits.
Carlos Carrasco is 1-1 with a 3.44 ERA and has yet to face Hanwha in KBO action. The veteran has shown solid command through his opening outings and appears to be the more reliable arm in tomorrow’s starting matchup-a crucial factor for LG after their pitching staff faltered in Game 1 of the series.
⭐ Editor's Pick
While Friday’s 11:15 start can’t be overlooked, it would be a mistake to assume Sunday’s matchup will play out the same way. LG have already shown they can break through Hanwha’s pitching-scoring 11 runs on 15 hits was more than enough to showcase their offensive firepower. The key for the visitors now is to get a stronger showing from the mound, and Carrasco’s 3.44 ERA provides a solid foundation for improvement. Park Chun Yong doesn’t hold a significant edge that could offset LG’s overall consistency this season, and the bullpen should benefit from the extra rest after Saturday’s game was called off. We’re backing an LG win here.
