Landers vs Hanwha Eagles Prediction 26 August 2026
📡 SSG kicked off the series in style, routing Hanwha 7-1 and snapping a long-standing head-to-head slump. The hosts racked up 12 hits, with six of their runs coming in a huge sixth inning. For Game 2, the pitching matchup shifts: SSG send Choi Min-jun to the mound with a 5.27 ERA, while Hanwha counter with Ryu Hyun-jin, who’s also struggled to find his usual consistency this season.
Head-to-Head
📊 Even after SSG’s win, Hanwha still lead the season series 9-3. The opening game of this set turned out to be a low-scoring affair, but the story was more intriguing than the final score suggests: SSG racked up 12 hits, while Hanwha’s pitchers fell apart after the fifth inning. The hosts have launched 122 home runs this season, while the visitors have 132, so both lineups possess more than enough power to push the total over in this matchup.

SSG Landers Team Overview
SSG improved their record to 46-64-5. The team are batting .261, with a 5.54 ERA and 122 home runs on the season.

Hanwha Eagles Team Overview
Hanwha have slipped to 49-58-3, posting a .276 batting average, a 4.99 ERA, and 132 home runs on the season. Scoring just one run in their previous outing was a clear drop-off from their usual offensive standards. Still, the team managed six hits, with Noh Si-hwan collecting three of them. This lineup is certainly capable of a much more productive game, especially facing an SSG starter with an ERA north of 5.00 and a bullpen carrying a 5.54 ERA.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Choi Min-jun enters with a 1-5 record and a 5.27 ERA. Against Hanwha, he stands at 0-2 with a 3.71 ERA. His overall season numbers remain concerningly high, making it tough for SSG to expect a repeat of his near-flawless outing from Game 1.
Ryu Hyun-jin owns an 8-4 record with a 4.02 ERA. Against SSG, he’s posted a 2-1 mark and a 3.18 ERA. While his head-to-head stats are solid, this season has seen him allow more runs than during his prime years.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Yesterday’s 7-1 scoreline fell short of the 9.5 run line, but tonight’s matchup looks far more promising for a high-scoring affair. SSG are coming off a 12-hit performance and now go up against Ryu, who holds a 4.02 ERA this season. Hanwha, after managing just one run last time out, will face Choi Min Jun and a home bullpen with a combined ERA of 5.54. Both teams have already cleared the 120 home run mark this year, so reaching double digits on the scoreboard doesn’t require a meltdown from either starter-both lineups and the late innings can contribute. The pick is on over 9.5 total runs.
