Landers vs Dinos Prediction 26 July 2026
📡 SSG have taken the first two games of the series with convincing 7-3 and 10-4 victories, but Game 3 brings a completely different pitching matchup. Shota Takeda has struggled all season, with particularly poor outings against NC Dinos. In contrast, Riley Thompson remains unbeaten so far. The prediction for this game hinges on whether the visitors can snap their losing streak by capitalizing on their starting pitcher's edge.
Head-to-Head
📊 In their last ten head-to-head matchups, SSG have claimed six wins, while NC Dinos have picked up three victories, with one game ending in a draw. The hosts have racked up 17 runs over the first two games of the current series, extending their advantage in the H2H. However, Takeda holds a 14.54 ERA against NC Dinos, giving the visitors a real chance to seize early control of the scoreboard for the first time in this series.
Head-to-head statistics Landers - Dinos
SSG Landers Team Overview
SSG sit ninth in the standings with a 36-56-3 record. The team is hitting .260, has launched 103 home runs, and carries a 5.76 ERA. The hosts are a threat with their power at the plate and have already twice capitalized on NC Dinos’ pitching struggles. However, their own ERA remains among the weakest in the league. For SSG to secure a third win, they’ll need to provide significant run support once again for a starter who is allowing over seven earned runs per nine innings.

Dinos Team Overview
NC Dinos currently sit seventh in the standings with a 42-47-1 record. The team is batting .276, has hit 88 home runs, and owns a 4.67 ERA. While they trail SSG in long balls, the Dinos are far more consistent at the plate and offer greater reliability on the mound. Their two-game losing streak is more about conceding 17 runs than any offensive shortcomings-NC have still managed to put up seven runs across those games. Facing Takeda, the Dinos will have a real opportunity to boost their scoring numbers.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Shota Takeda will take the mound for SSG. This season, he's posted a 1-8 record with a 7.22 ERA. Against NC Dinos, he stands at 0-1 with a staggering 14.54 ERA. These numbers put the hosts at serious risk of falling behind early. Takeda must drastically cut down on hits and free passes, or the visitors could quickly chase him from the game.
Riley Thompson gets the start for NC Dinos. He's unbeaten this season at 5-0 with a 3.23 ERA. Against SSG, however, he owns a 7.20 ERA with no decisions. While his head-to-head stats are less impressive, his overall season form is clearly more reliable than Takeda's. For Thompson, containing SSG's power hitters, who have swung the first two games, will be key.
⭐ Editor’s Prediction
SSG are firmly in control of the series and clearly lead in home runs, so it would be unwise to back the visitors solely based on their higher league position. The real difference lies in the starting pitchers. Takeda enters with a 1-8 record and a 7.22 ERA on the season, ballooning to 14.54 against NC Dinos. Thompson, meanwhile, remains unbeaten with a 3.23 ERA overall. The visitors also outperform SSG in both team batting average and pitching, outscoring them by more than a run per game. After back-to-back defeats, NC Dinos find themselves in a strong spot to respond and should come out aggressively against a vulnerable starter. We’re backing an NC Dinos win here.
