KBO League predictions

Hanwha Eagles at Kiwoom Heroes predictions - Friday, April 5, 2024

The last instance when Hanwha chalked up seven victories in their opening eight games was way back in 1992, a good 32 years ago. Come April 5, they're set to make their way to the Gocheok Sky Dome, facing off against Kiwoom who currently stands at 2-4 after six matches.

March saw Hanwha closing with a hefty 14-3 triumph over KT. The spotlight was on rookie pitcher Hwang Jun-seo who, in his debut, limited the opposition to just one earned run across three hits over five innings, also managing to strike out five. His quickest delivery was timed at 149 km/h.

On the flip side, Kiwoom bagged a win on March 31, showcasing commendable pitching and batting against LG. The trio of Kim Hye-seong, Kim Whee-jip, and Song Sung-mun each dispatched a home run, propelling Kiwoom to an 8-4 victory.

With Hanwha having the upper hand in four of their last five encounters against Kiwoom, their superior track record suggests they might extend their winning streak in this week's clash.

Samsung Lions at KIA Tigers predictions - Friday, April 5, 2024

KIA, prominently positioned second in the league boasting a 2.89 earned run average (ERA) and a .833 win rate, is geared up to lock horns with Samsung at their fortress in Gwangju in this season's first face-off.

Samsung has had a rocky start to the season, with a batting average (AVG) of .233 and a 6.10 ERA since day one, landing them among the lower echelons of the league.

KIA's Yoon Young-cheol played a pivotal role in the team's recent successes by overpowering Doosan in his season opener. Over five innings, he surrendered just three hits and no runs, and felled five batters.

His performance last year was commendable, with an 8-7 tally and a 4.04 ERA in his inaugural professional season.

With the advantage of playing on their home turf, KIA is anticipated to keep up their winning spree.

SSG Landers at NC Dinos predictions - Friday, April 5, 2024

SSG is riding the high from a three-game clean sweep against Samsung in Daegu, while NC (5-2) clinched their second straight win in a nail-biting 8-7 victory over Lotte in the season's inaugural 'Nakdong River Derby,' a contest that stretched over five hours and seven minutes.

SSG's Roenis Elías was in fine form on March 30, letting only two earned runs slip through over six innings and striking out nine. Ko Myeong-jun and Cho Hyeong-woo both had a good day with multiple hits.

NC secured their win against Lotte, with Kim Hyung-jun making a crucial contribution with an RBI double in the nail-biting moments of the bottom of the 11th inning.

In their last 10 head-to-heads, both teams have shared the spoils evenly, winning five apiece. Another closely contested match is on the cards this week, with the home field advantage likely tipping the scales in favor of the Dinos.
