Landers vs Hanwha Eagles Prediction 28 June 2026
📡 Hanwha cruised to victory in Game 2 of the series in Incheon, posting an emphatic 8-1 win and further highlighting the gulf between the two sides at this stage. SSG once again failed to get the pitching support they needed, while their offense couldn’t claw back from an early deficit. Heading into Sunday’s matchup, the hosts must not only chase a different result but also change the entire complexion of the game-simply staying close for a few innings is no longer enough against Hanwha.
Head-to-Head
📊 Hanwha lead the season series 8-2. This record isn’t the result of a single hot streak-Hanwha consistently exploit SSG’s pitching weaknesses and tend to take control in the middle innings. Their recent 8-1 win underscored how, even without a standout offensive performance from the hosts, Hanwha’s superior command on the mound and discipline in key moments can make all the difference.
Head-to-head statistics Landers - Hanwha Eagles

SSG Landers Team Overview
SSG currently sit ninth in the standings with a 30-44-2 record. The team is batting .263 with 81 home runs, but their 5.79 ERA has been a glaring weakness, undermining any chance of consistent success. There’s power in the lineup, yet it’s repeatedly offset by pitching struggles and unreliable relief appearances. On Saturday, SSG fell short across all key phases and managed just a single run. Back on home turf, they’ll need to find some early aggression at the plate-otherwise, the series could quickly swing back in the visitors’ favor.

Hanwha Eagles Team Overview
Hanwha currently sit sixth with a 36-37-2 record. The team is batting .273, has launched 85 home runs, and owns a 4.51 ERA. While their pitching isn’t flawless, Hanwha’s overall structure looks noticeably more reliable in this series: they capitalize better on baserunners, manage tight stretches with composure, and keep opponents from dictating the tempo. Their 8-1 victory is yet another reminder that this lineup can back up its pitching not just with power, but also with sustained rallies and consistent contact.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Choi Min-jun gets the nod for SSG. This season, he’s 1-4 with a 4.84 ERA, while his numbers against Hanwha stand at 0-2 with a 2.51 ERA. Although his personal ERA versus Hanwha is respectable, those two losses highlight his struggles to convert solid stretches into wins. Facing a lineup with greater offensive depth, Choi needs to avoid giving up free passes-otherwise, SSG could find themselves under pressure by the middle innings once again.
Ryu Hyun-jin takes the mound for Hanwha. He boasts an 8-2 record and a 2.76 ERA this season, including a 2-1 mark and a 3.78 ERA against SSG. Ryu brings the stronger starting profile in this matchup. His ability to neutralize SSG’s power bats could provide Hanwha with a steady platform-especially if the visitors grab an early lead and dictate the tempo.
⭐ Editor’s Prediction
SSG have the power to answer back with home runs, but the momentum is clearly on Hanwha’s side. The visitors lead the season series 8-2, have taken the last two meetings by a combined score of 17-3, and send Ryu Hyun-jin to the mound with an 8-2 record and a 2.76 ERA. The hosts are still struggling with pitching issues, and Choi Min-jun will face a lineup that has already found its groove in Incheon. If Hanwha can avoid an early power surge from SSG, their more reliable pitching and deeper offense should once again tip the balance in their favor. The main pick is a Hanwha win.
