Hanwha Eagles vs Lotte Giants Prediction 23 September 2026
📡 Lotte extended their impressive September run on Tuesday, routing Hanwha 7-0 in Daejeon. The visitors have now claimed seven wins in their last 10 games, while Hanwha have managed just three in that span and slipped to 54-73-4. The key question for this prediction is whether the Eagles’ offense can bounce back against Park Se-woong after being shut out yesterday.
Hanwha are usually prolific against Lotte, but yesterday they were held scoreless.
📊 Hanwha have dominated the last 10 head-to-head meetings, winning 8 and losing just 2. However, Lotte snapped the hosts’ latest winning streak yesterday with a commanding 7-0 victory. Historically, this matchup has not favored the chosen line: Hanwha have scored at least five runs in seven of those 10 games. That’s why this pick is based primarily on the sudden shift in recent offensive form, rather than on the head-to-head record.
Head-to-head statistics Hanwha Eagles - Lotte Giants
Hanwha’s offense has dipped to just 3.7 runs per game.
Hanwha remain a dangerous power-hitting side this season with 162 home runs and a batting average close to .274, but their offense has stalled in recent weeks. Over their last 10 games, the Eagles have posted a 3-7 record, averaging just 3.7 runs per game with a .234 batting average. On Tuesday against Lotte, they were shut out, and their current offensive form looks a far cry from their season-long numbers.

Lotte combine a red-hot offense with a reliable, fresh bullpen
Lotte are enjoying a remarkable run of form, racking up seven wins in their last 10 games while averaging 7.0 runs per contest and posting a .349 batting average. Their surge isn’t just about offensive firepower, though-the bullpen has been rock solid over this stretch, maintaining a 2.48 ERA. Just yesterday, the entire Giants pitching staff completely shut down Hanwha. While Lotte’s season stats show a .271 team batting average and a 4.80 ERA, their recent performances have been far more impressive.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Hanwha’s right-hander Park Chun-young holds a 2-6 record with a 6.28 ERA. Over 14 appearances, including nine starts, he’s logged 43 innings, allowing 39 hits, striking out 34, surrendering 31 runs, and posting a 1.42 WHIP. He’s delivered just one quality start, with no complete games or shutouts to his name. Having already given up ten home runs in limited action, Park increases the likelihood of Lotte jumping out to an early lead.
Lotte’s righty Park Se-woong enters at 3-9 with a 4.92 ERA. He’s started all 23 of his outings, pitching 126⅓ innings, conceding 148 hits, striking out 108, allowing 77 runs, and recording a 1.54 WHIP. He’s put together ten quality starts but hasn’t registered a complete game or shutout. In his last two appearances, Park has yielded five runs over 11 innings, including two runs across six frames against Samsung.
⭐ Editor’s Prediction
Park Se-woong’s season stats alone don’t make a strong case for backing Hanwha’s team total under, and the head-to-head history actually points the other way: Hanwha have scored at least five runs in seven of their last ten meetings. However, the current context is different. Over their last ten games, the Eagles have dropped to just 3.7 runs per game with a .234 batting average, and they were shut out by Lotte just yesterday. The visitors’ bullpen has posted a 2.48 ERA over this stretch, so even after Park Se-woong exits, things don’t get much easier for the hosts. Hanwha need five runs to clear this line, but their current offensive form rarely hits that mark. The smart play here is Hanwha Team Total Under 4.5.
