Wiz vs Doosan Bears Prediction 26 August 2026
📡 The league leaders opened the series with a defeat, as Doosan claimed a 3-1 victory. KT managed seven hits but struggled to capitalize on their opportunities, while Choi Min-seok and the visitors’ bullpen held the hosts’ potent offense in check. For Game 2, KT turn to Davis Daniel, who boasts a 2.70 ERA, while Doosan send Zach Logue to the mound-making this starting matchup look far more favorable for the league leaders.
Head-to-Head
📊 Despite the loss, KT still hold a 6-4-1 edge in the season series. Doosan closed the gap with Tuesday’s win, but the hosts remain ahead both head-to-head and in the standings.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Davis Daniel is 0-1 with a 2.70 ERA through two starts. He has yet to face Doosan, but his first ten innings in the KBO have showcased solid command and quality pitching, even with the small sample size.
Zach Logue stands at 6-6 with a 4.06 ERA. Against KT, he’s 0-1 with a 4.50 ERA. His overall numbers are noticeably weaker than Choi Min Seok’s, who managed to shut down KT in the series opener.
⭐ Editor's Pick
The 1-3 defeat doesn’t erase KT’s overall edge over the long haul. The hosts boast the league’s best record, lead the season series 6-4-1, and start from a strong position with Daniel on the mound, who’s posted a 2.70 ERA since joining the KBO. On Tuesday, Doosan needed a near-flawless outing from Choi Min Seok to hold KT’s offense to just one run; it’ll be much tougher for Logue, who carries a 4.06 ERA, to replicate that feat. If KT return to their usual level of efficiency at the plate, their own starting pitching should be enough to keep Doosan in check. Our pick for this matchup is a KT win.
