Head-to-head statistics Kia Tigers - Landers
Kia Tigers Team Overview
Despite their recent losing streak, KIA remain one of the KBO’s most dangerous offensive units, boasting a .272 team batting average and 155 home runs. Their collective ERA sits at 4.40. However, their recent outings have been noticeably quieter than their season averages: over their last three defeats, the Tigers managed just 9 runs, and on September 10 they were held to a single run and 6 hits across 11 innings. The bullpen was tasked with covering four extra frames after Adam Oller delivered a strong start.

SSG Landers Team Overview
SSG edged out Doosan 1-0 and claimed a narrow 4-3 win over Hanwha after falling 1-3 to KT, so their last three games have produced combined run totals of 1, 7, and 4 respectively. Their offense this season has been noticeably weaker than Kia’s, posting a .260 batting average with 130 home runs, while their overall ERA remains high at 5.32. Still, their bullpen stepped up last night: after Pedro Avila pitched six innings, four relievers combined to allow just two runs and preserved the lead.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Yang Hyeon-jong, the left-hander for KIA, enters with a 10-6 record and a 4.25 ERA. He has started all 22 of his appearances this season, pitching 106 innings with 100 hits allowed, 70 strikeouts, 56 earned runs, and a 1.44 WHIP. Yang has logged two quality starts, but is yet to record a complete game or shutout. Over his last three outings, he has given up five runs across 16⅓ innings, including two games where he surrendered just a single run.
Lee Jun-gi, the righty for SSG, has made only two appearances for the first team this year, both out of the bullpen: 0-0 record, 6.00 ERA, three innings pitched, four hits allowed, one strikeout, two runs conceded, and a 2.00 WHIP. He has yet to make a start, deliver a quality start, pitch a complete game, or register a shutout. With such a limited sample size, it’s difficult to assess his consistency-Friday’s matchup will mark his first start of the season.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
The main risk to the under comes from SSG: Lee Jun Gi is making his first start of the season and has just three innings of first-team experience, which likely means the bullpen will have to cover a significant part of the game. Still, the 10.5-run line provides a comfortable cushion, especially with both offenses struggling for consistency. Kia have scored just 4, 4, and 1 run over their last three games, while SSG have managed only 1, 1, and 4; Yang Hyeon Jong has also outperformed his season ERA lately and should be able to keep the visitors in check through the early innings. The last 10 head-to-head meetings have averaged 10.0 runs, with their most recent encounter ending 2-1. Even if Kia put up 5 or 6 runs, SSG will need a major offensive response to push this game over the current total. We lean towards under 10.5 runs here.
