Landers vs Doosan Bears Prediction 28 July 2026
📡 Doosan arrive in Incheon fresh off a commanding 7-0 victory over Samsung. SSG wrapped up their previous series with a 5-5 draw against NC Dinos and currently sit in ninth place. The hosts will field Pedro Avila, who has had a promising start to the season. However, Doosan counter with Wes Benjamin and a notably more reliable team pitching staff. The prediction leans towards the visitors having the upper hand over the full stretch of the game.
Head-to-Head
📊 Doosan have come out on top in six of the last ten head-to-head matchups, while SSG have claimed four. This season, the score stands at 5-4 in favor of the visitors. Doosan have already defeated SSG 7-3, capitalizing on their opponent's weakness in long-range pitching. The hosts are more threatening with home runs, but their team ERA of 5.72 consistently allows Doosan opportunities to get back into the game.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Pedro Avila will take the mound for SSG. This season, he boasts a 2-0 record with a 2.25 ERA. He doesn't have a complete personal stat line against Doosan yet. Avila is off to a strong start, giving the hosts a chance to keep the score even. The main question is how long he can go without relying on SSG's weak bullpen.
Wes Benjamin will pitch for Doosan. He has a 4-7 record this season with a 2.66 ERA. Against SSG, his record stands at 0-2 with a 5.23 ERA. While his personal line against SSG is below his season average, his overall reliability remains high. Benjamin needs to limit the home team's long balls and avoid giving away free bases before facing the heart of the lineup.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Avila might make the start of the game challenging for Doosan, and Benjamin's personal stats against SSG don't give the visitors an obvious early advantage. However, over the full distance, the difference in team pitching is significant. Doosan's ERA stands at 3.85 compared to the hosts' 5.72, and the visitors' average is also higher. Doosan have a 6-4 record in their last ten head-to-head matchups and are coming off a 7-0 victory over Samsung. If the visitors can keep SSG's power hitters from launching multiple home runs, the late innings should fall under their control. We're backing a Doosan victory here.
