Landers vs Wiz Prediction 23 August 2026
📡 After an 11-inning 3-3 draw, the teams were set to resume their series on Saturday, but rain washed out Game 2. On Sunday, all eyes turn to a compelling pitching matchup: Pedro Avila enters with a 1.54 ERA, while Logan Allen holds a 3.26 mark. Given these numbers, any prediction naturally shifts focus from offensive firepower to the quality of the starting pitching.
Head-to-Head
📊 SSG hold a 7-5-1 edge in the season series. Their most recent clash ended in a 3-3 draw after 11 innings, with both teams combining for just six runs. KT racked up seven hits, while SSG collected ten, but both sides did well to limit scoring opportunities. The head-to-head meetings alone demonstrate that the league leaders’ advantage doesn’t always translate into high-scoring games here.

Wiz Team Overview
KT remain on top with a 63-41-3 record. The team boasts a .279 batting average, a 4.41 ERA, and 82 home runs. Their offense can explode for big numbers, as seen with 16 runs against LG on August 20, but the very next day their power dropped off-just three runs over 11 innings against SSG. Over the course of the season, KT have been clearly stronger than their opponents overall, but their head-to-head record against these particular teams is actually negative.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Pedro Avila enters the game with a 4-0 record and an impressive 1.54 ERA. He hasn’t faced KT yet this season, but his first six starts have been outstanding, standing in sharp contrast to SSG’s overall team ERA. Avila’s form gives the hosts a real chance to keep the scoring in check.
Logan Allen is 4-1 with a 3.26 ERA. He also has yet to pitch against SSG this year. While his numbers aren’t quite on Avila’s level, they’re still solid for the ace of the league leaders. If Allen can navigate five or six innings without major trouble, both teams will likely need their bullpens to step up for the total score to climb.
⭐ Editor's Pick
The 9.5 total offers a solid cushion for a matchup featuring two reliable starters. Avila has made an impressive start to his KBO career, going 4-0 with a 1.54 ERA, while Allen maintains a 3.26 ERA. Their previous head-to-head saw just six runs scored-even after 11 innings. KT’s potent offense and SSG’s overall high ERA do present risks, but Avila’s presence on the mound significantly reduces the likelihood of an early collapse by the hosts. With Saturday’s game canceled, both bullpens come in well-rested, which could be crucial in the later innings. Given these factors, we’re backing under 9.5 runs here.
