Wiz vs Doosan Bears Prediction 27 August 2026
📡 KT bounced back quickly from their 1-3 defeat in the opening game of the series, taking the second match 5-4. The league leaders have now extended their head-to-head advantage to 7-4-1 and are set for one of the most favorable opening matchups of the day. Ko Young-pyo has consistently delivered strong performances against Doosan, while Choi Seung-yong continues to struggle when facing KT.
Head-to-Head
📊 KT have claimed seven wins from twelve matches, with one draw. Doosan are more than capable of keeping this matchup competitive-the last two scorelines, 3-1 and 4-5, back that up. However, in the third game, the starting pitcher stats strongly favour the hosts: Ko has already beaten Doosan twice, while Choi has suffered two defeats against KT.

Doosan Bears Team Overview
Doosan sit fifth in the standings with a 59-51-4 record. They are hitting .270 as a team, while their pitching staff boasts a 3.69 ERA-an even stronger mark than KT’s.

Doosan remain a dangerous opponent thanks to their strong pitching, but their projected starter for August 27 appears far less reliable.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Ko Young-Pyo enters with a 10-6 record and a 3.74 ERA. Against Doosan, he’s gone 2-0 with a 3.00 ERA. He gives KT a solid chance to dictate the tempo through the first six innings and keeps the bullpen from being overworked.
Choi Seung-Young stands at 3-10 with a 5.60 ERA. Versus KT, he’s 0-2 with a 9.00 ERA. His head-to-head numbers mark him as the clear weak link in Doosan’s rotation for Game 3 of the series.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Looking at overall season pitching, Doosan remain competitive, so KT's position in the standings shouldn't be the only factor in this matchup. The hosts’ main advantage lies on the mound: Ko Young-pyo has won both of his head-to-head starts against this opponent and carries a 3.00 ERA, while Choi Seung-yong is 0-2 with a 9.00 ERA when facing KT. The league leaders are also hitting .279 and have already bounced back offensively after a disappointing opener. If KT can seize the early innings, their bullpen depth should be enough to see them through. For Doosan to pull off a win, Choi will need a far stronger outing than his season and head-to-head numbers suggest. The most reasonable pick here is a KT win.
