Landers vs Samsung Lions Prediction 9 October 2026
📡 Samsung remain in second place with an 83-55-3 record, though they’re coming off a 3-9 defeat to KT. SSG sit sixth in the standings, having improved to 64-73-5 after a 6-3 win over NC. The upcoming matchup stands out due to its starting pitchers: Satoshi Miyamori will make his first start of the season, while Lee Ro Woon has primarily featured out of the bullpen.
Samsung have won seven out of their last ten matches, but the 11.5 line has only been covered in half of those games.
📊 Samsung have come out on top in seven of their last ten head-to-head matchups, with a combined total of 135 runs scored-an average of 13.5 per game. However, when it comes to the 11.5-run line, the split is even: five games have gone over, five under. Notably, two of the last three encounters have produced no more than ten runs, including Samsung’s 5-4 victory at the end of September.
Head-to-head statistics Landers - Samsung Lions

Reliable relievers remain SSG’s key asset amid inconsistent starting pitching.
SSG currently sit sixth in the standings with a 64-73-5 record, having picked up six wins in their last ten outings. In their previous game, they defeated NC 6-3, but fell to Hanwha 2-9 just before that. Their team batting average of .258 lags behind Samsung’s mark, though the hosts do hold a slight edge in home runs-141 to 138. The team ERA of 5.17 remains a significant concern, but the bullpen can rely on Cho Byung-hyun (ERA 2.38) and Kim Min (ERA 3.36) to lock down the late innings. Their effectiveness is especially crucial given the inconsistency among SSG’s starting pitchers.

Samsung’s strong bullpen helps offset the uncertainty surrounding Miyamori’s first start.
Samsung come into the game sitting second in the standings, boasting 83 wins, 55 losses, and three draws. They have claimed seven victories in their last ten outings, though they did fall 3-9 to league leaders KT on October 7. Their team batting average of .275 outpaces SSG’s numbers, and a collective ERA of 4.26 is notably stronger as well. In the bullpen, Kim Tae-hun stands out with a 2.54 ERA, while Kim Jae-yoon has posted a 3.13 ERA and racked up 35 saves this season. The quality of their late-inning relievers gives the visitors confidence that they can control the closing stages, even if their starter doesn’t go deep into the game.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Lee Ro Un, a right-hander for SSG, carries a 6.00 ERA across 49 appearances, including four starts, with a 7-4 record. He’s logged 63 innings, surrendering 66 hits and 42 runs while striking out 59 batters, with a WHIP of 1.52. Lee has delivered two quality starts this season but is yet to go the distance or pitch a shutout. In his two strong outings in September, he allowed just one run over 13.2 innings. However, on October 3, he was tagged for seven runs and nine hits in just 4.2 innings, underlining his inconsistency.
Satoshi Miyamori, a righty for Samsung, posts a 5.87 ERA from 16 relief appearances and holds a 1-2 record. Over 15.1 innings, he’s given up 17 hits and 10 runs, striking out nine with a 1.43 WHIP. He has yet to record a quality start, complete game, or shutout. On the plus side, Miyamori has tossed five scoreless innings across his last three relief outings. This upcoming game marks his first start of the season, demanding a longer stint on the mound than he’s managed so far.
⭐ Editor’s Prediction
The starting pitching matchup is the main wildcard here: both starters come in with ERAs hovering around 6.00, and Satoshi Miyamori hasn’t made a single start this season. That makes it unlikely either pitcher will go deep into the game, so expect the bullpens to shoulder a significant workload. Both teams, however, boast reliable relievers for late-game situations, and October 8 was a rest day for both squads. SSG have stayed under the 11.5 total in four of their last five games, while Samsung managed just three runs in their previous outing. Although recent head-to-head clashes have produced some high-scoring affairs, five of the last ten meetings have finished under this line. With at least 12 combined runs needed to hit the over, a scenario featuring short starts and steadier relief pitching looks well-founded. The pick here is under 11.5 total runs.
