Wiz vs Landers Prediction 24 June 2026
📡 The Suwon series kicks off following a thoroughly one-sided affair, as KT demolished SSG 13-2, quickly underlining the gap in offensive firepower and roster depth. Still, the head-to-head record this season favors the visitors, so the hosts can't afford to let their guard down after such a dominant win. This new prediction is based on KT's potent lineup, SSG's ongoing pitching struggles, and a starting matchup that should offer both teams plenty of scoring opportunities.
Head-to-Head
📊 SSG still lead the season series 6-4. However, the tone of this matchup shifted dramatically in their latest clash: KT racked up 13 runs on 14 hits, taking full control after the opening innings. The visitors have found ways to challenge this opponent throughout the season, but the recent result highlighted just how vulnerable their pitching can be once KT starts putting runners on base consistently.
H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results

Wiz Team Overview
KT currently sit second in the standings with a 42-28-1 record. Their team batting average of .285 is the highest among these two sides, and 51 home runs show the hosts can blend contact hitting with serious power. An ERA of 4.69 means their pitching isn’t flawless, but the offense frequently makes up for any shortcomings on the mound. In their recent 13-2 win, KT thrived by stringing together hits in long rallies-rather than waiting for a single big home run, they kept applying pressure throughout the game.

SSG Landers Team Overview
SSG currently sit ninth in the standings with a 29-41-2 record. The visitors are batting .261, have hit 79 home runs, and own a team ERA of 5.66. While SSG possess some power at the plate, their pitching woes continue to undermine even their most promising offensive stretches. Their recent 2-13 defeat served as a harsh reminder of these issues: SSG quickly lost control and were unable to contain KT, whether with their starting arms or out of the bullpen. Up against the league’s top batting average, such an inflated ERA becomes an especially glaring liability.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Matthew Sauer gets the nod for KT. He’s 6-3 on the season with a 4.20 ERA, but against SSG he sits at 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA. That personal line versus the visitors serves as a real warning sign for the home side. Sauer can’t afford to let SSG build early momentum - the visitors have tallied 79 home runs this year and have shown they can punish mistakes, even coming off a tough loss.
Kim Min-jun will start for SSG. His season numbers are 0-1 with a 7.88 ERA, and he’s yet to face KT this year (0-0, 0.00 ERA). That’s a risky profile against one of the league’s most potent offenses. If KT once again puts runners on base early, Sauer may not need to be perfect - the hosts have the firepower to capitalize by applying immediate pressure to the SSG starter.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
KT have already shown their ceiling in this matchup, racking up 13 runs last time out, but the case for a high-scoring game goes beyond that blowout. The hosts boast the best batting average in this head-to-head at .285, while SSG have launched 79 home runs this season. Both teams’ pitching staffs have struggled, posting ERAs of 4.69 and 5.66 respectively. Sauer comes in with a personal ERA of 9.00 against SSG, and Kim Min-jun takes the mound with a season ERA of 7.88, facing KT’s powerful lineup. Even if the opening innings are quieter than the previous contest, early bullpen changes could open things up once again. In our view, the over 9.5 total runs looks like a strong play.
