Dinos vs Kiwoom Heroes Prediction 27 June 2026
📡 NC Dinos kicked off their home series with a commanding 11-4 win over Kiwoom, breaking the game open with a six-run sixth inning. Kiwoom started strong and even held the lead after the third, but couldn’t handle the sustained pressure down the stretch. In Game 2 of the series, NC Dinos have an opportunity to build on their advantage, though the head-to-head record this season remains level.
Head-to-Head
📊 After an 11-4 win, the series is now tied at 5-5. Kiwoom have already caused NC Dinos plenty of problems this season, so the hosts can’t afford to underestimate their last-placed opponents. However, the previous game highlighted a key difference: NC Dinos are patient, able to weather the storm before punishing Kiwoom’s pitching with a big inning. For the visitors, it’s crucial to avoid another mid-game collapse if they want to stay in contention.
Head-to-head statistics Dinos - Kiwoom Heroes
Dinos Team Overview
NC Dinos currently sit seventh with a 34-38-1 record. The team is batting .279, has hit 65 home runs, and owns a 4.50 ERA. Their offense remains one of the league’s best in terms of contact hitting, and the recent 11-4 win showcased how quickly they can turn opponents’ mistakes into a commanding lead. While pitching continues to be an issue, the Dinos’ bats at home often offset those concerns. Coming off such a convincing victory, the hosts will carry plenty of momentum into the next game of the series.

Kiwoom Heroes Team Overview
Kiwoom remain at the bottom of the standings with a 26-50-1 record. Their .231 team batting average, 42 home runs, and a 5.00 ERA present significant challenges. Yesterday, the visitors started well but couldn’t maintain their pitching after the midway point. Kiwoom occasionally put together solid innings, but they rarely get consistent support across all nine. On the road against NC Dinos’ potent offense, this weakness becomes even more apparent.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Koo Chang-mo gets the nod for NC Dinos. He enters the game with a 7-2 record and a 3.51 ERA this season, while boasting a dominant 3-0 mark and a 0.95 ERA against Kiwoom. That makes his pitching profile one of the strongest on today’s slate. Koo Chang-mo has already beaten Kiwoom three times, consistently shutting down their lineup and never allowing them to settle into an offensive rhythm. If he delivers another trademark performance, the Dinos will be well-placed to dictate terms at home.
Ha Young-min will start for Kiwoom. His season numbers sit at 2-5 with a 4.50 ERA, and he’s 0-2 with a 1.93 ERA against NC Dinos. While his personal ERA looks respectable, the two losses suggest he hasn’t been able to get the job done. Facing a Dinos offense that just put up 11 runs, Ha Young-min will need to be nearly flawless through the early innings-otherwise, Kiwoom risk falling into another deep hole.
⭐ Editor’s Prediction
The head-to-head record stands even at 5-5, so it’s hard to completely count Kiwoom out, especially since Ha Yeon Min has already posted a solid ERA against NC Dinos. Still, the current situation overwhelmingly favours the home side. NC Dinos are coming off an emphatic 11-4 victory, they boast a stronger average performance, a much deeper lineup, and send Koo Chang-mo to the mound with a 7-2 record and a 0.95 ERA against Kiwoom. The visitors will need to deliver a near-flawless game to make up for their shaky team ERA and limited power. The hosts simply have more routes to victory-whether by taking control early or applying late pressure on the bullpen. The main pick here is NC Dinos to win with a -1.5 handicap.
