Doosan Bears Team Overview
Doosan currently sit fifth in the standings, boasting a .266 batting average, 96 home runs, and one of the league’s best team ERAs at 3.69. However, their offense has hit a major slump: since September 1, they have dropped seven of their last eight games and have managed to score more than two runs just once. The lone exception was a wild 16-9 win over SSG, while in the other seven games during this stretch, Doosan have produced just five runs combined. Most recently, despite another strong pitching performance, they received no run support and fell 0-1.

Kiwoom Heroes Team Overview
Kiwoom remain tenth in the standings with a .243 batting average, 91 home runs, and a team ERA of 5.29. However, their recent form paints a more optimistic picture: the club have claimed three wins in their last four games, including an 8-3 victory over LG on September 8, before enjoying a rest day on September 9. The main threat to the under comes from Kiwoom’s inconsistent pitching staff, yet it’s worth noting that in the five games preceding the win against LG, their offense failed to score more than three runs on four occasions.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Kiwoom’s right-hander, Pak Chun Hyeong/Hyun, enters with a 1-7 record and a 5.28 ERA. He has started all 17 of his appearances this season, covering 76⅔ innings, allowing 69 hits, striking out 80, and conceding 46 runs with a WHIP of 1.75. He’s posted just two quality starts and is yet to pitch a complete game or a shutout. His most recent outing was a notable improvement over his season numbers: five innings, three hits, one run allowed, and eight strikeouts against SSG.
Doosan’s lefty Wes Benjamin sits at 5-7 with a 2.53 ERA. Across 19 starts, he’s logged 106⅔ innings, surrendered 99 hits, racked up 108 strikeouts, and given up 38 runs, posting a WHIP of 1.19. Benjamin has delivered 10 quality starts but hasn’t thrown a complete game or a shutout this year. He hasn’t pitched in the KBO since August 18, but remains one of Doosan’s most reliable starters this season.
⭐ Editor’s Prediction
The 9.5-run line offers a solid cushion given Doosan’s current struggles at the plate and Benjamin’s quality on the mound. The hosts have managed just five runs over their last seven of eight games, and were even shut out in their most recent outing. Benjamin boasts a 2.53 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP, making him well-equipped to neutralize much of Kiwoom’s offensive threat through the early innings. While Pak Chun Hyun’s season numbers are less impressive, his latest start saw him allow only one run over five innings-suggesting he could avoid an early blow-up. Five of the last ten head-to-head meetings have finished under this line, and the high average total in this matchup is largely skewed by a handful of blowouts. Given Doosan’s current offensive woes and the hosts’ strong starting pitching, a final scoreline in the region of 4-2, 5-2 or 5-3 appears more likely. Back under 9.5 total runs.
