Hanwha Eagles vs Doosan Bears Prediction 25 June 2026
📡 After Hanwha rallied to claim the opening game of the series, Doosan responded emphatically with a commanding 7-2 victory. The visitors quickly put any doubts about their resilience to rest, showcasing their ability to string together quality at-bats and break through the hosts’ pitching. Heading into the next matchup, the starting pitching duel takes on added significance: Doosan send out a consistent arm who’s delivered solid outings all season, while Hanwha counter with a less reliable presence on the mound.
Head-to-Head
📊 Hanwha still lead the season series 6-4-1, but Doosan’s emphatic 7-2 victory has closed the gap significantly. In this matchup, the home side have often relied on their offensive firepower, yet the visitors have already proven they can do more than just keep pace-they’re capable of taking control through discipline and strong starts. While Hanwha hold the head-to-head advantage for now, the recent momentum makes that edge look far less secure.
H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Hanwha Eagles Team Overview
Hanwha currently sit sixth with a 34-36-2 record. The team is batting .272 with 79 home runs, while their pitching staff holds a 4.59 ERA. The hosts continue to display solid power at the plate, but their pitching often puts them in difficult situations. In the 2-7 defeat, Hanwha failed to contain Doosan after early pressure and couldn’t generate enough offense to mount a comeback. Playing at home, it’s crucial for Hanwha to avoid a repeat of that scenario, as chasing a team with strong starting pitching will be an uphill battle.

Doosan Bears Team Overview
Doosan sit fifth in the standings with a 35-37-2 record. The team’s .268 batting average, 54 home runs, and a 4.00 ERA reflect a balanced profile. Their recent 7-2 win sent a strong message: the visitors delivered both at the plate and on the mound, effectively neutralizing Hanwha’s powerful offense. While Doosan aren’t a side known for high-scoring games every time out, they maintain their structure well and are quick to capitalize on pitching mistakes.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Park Jun-Young gets the nod for Hanwha. This season, he's 2-2 with a 4.03 ERA, but against Doosan he’s struggled, going 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA. His individual numbers raise concerns, especially after Hanwha allowed seven runs in their previous outing. Park needs to navigate the early innings without issuing free passes and must prevent Doosan from seizing early momentum again.
Wes Benjamin will start for Doosan. He’s posted a 3-6 record with a 3.02 ERA this year, and he's been lights out against Hanwha-1-0 with a spotless 0.00 ERA. Despite the losing record, Benjamin has been the more reliable starter in this matchup. He’s already shown he can handle Hanwha’s potent lineup and will look to keep the hosts’ bats in check once again.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Hanwha boast more home runs and still hold the edge in the season series, so it would be unwise to rule out the hosts entirely. However, the current momentum clearly favours Doosan. The visitors are coming off a convincing 7-2 win, riding a wave of confidence, and send Wes Benjamin to the mound-he owns a 3.02 ERA this season and already has a win over Hanwha under his belt. On the other side, Park Joon-Young takes the ball for Hanwha with a 9.00 ERA against Doosan, which is a major concern following the team's recent struggles. If Benjamin can navigate the early innings, Doosan should be able to steadily ramp up the pressure and prevent Hanwha from getting their power bats going. The main pick here is a Doosan win.
