SSG Landers Team Overview
SSG currently sit in ninth place with a record of 34-56-3. The team is hitting .260, has hit 103 home runs, and holds an ERA of 5.81. While they are capable of quickly putting runs on the board, their high team ERA often squanders any lead they gain. Their recent 5-2 victory over Lotte was the result of a strong start and timely hitting, but replicating that performance against Koo Chang-mo will be more challenging.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Thomas Hatch will take the mound for SSG. This season, he holds a 1-4 record with a 7.62 ERA. Against NC Dinos, he is 1-0 with a 4.76 ERA. While his personal victory stands out, his high season ERA remains a concern. Hatch needs to avoid giving up free passes, as NC Dinos capitalize well on consistent contact.
Koo Chang-mo will pitch for NC Dinos. He boasts an 8-2 record with a 3.61 ERA this season. He lacks comprehensive personal stats against SSG. Koo Chang-mo gives the visitors a clear edge with his quality starting performance. It's crucial for him to prevent SSG from exploiting their 103 home runs with runners on base.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
SSG are playing at home with a 4-3-1 lead in the season series and boast a strong long-range hitting capability. However, the starting pitching matchup heavily favors the visitors. Hatch enters with a 7.62 ERA, while Koo Chang-mo holds an 8-2 record and a 3.61 ERA. NC Dinos have a better batting average and are more reliable on the mound, outperforming by over a run. The visitors also come into this game off a win against LG, where they scored seven runs and recorded 11 hits. If Koo Chang-mo can limit SSG's power hitting, NC Dinos’ offense should have enough opportunities against Hatch and the home team's relievers. The main pick is an NC Dinos victory.
