Korean Baseball Best Bets 10/7/22 - KBO Picks & Predictions

The KBO is looking to have a good success on the day on Thursday. The league is set to have only 3 games being played on Thursday, but it will definitely provide plenty of action. 

KT Wiz vs KIA Tigers, KIA -161 ; O/U 8.5

The Wiz have a 78-60-2 record. The Tigers have a 69-72-1 record. The Wiz are hitting at a clip of .255 with 114 homers and a team ERA of 3.48. Pitching for the Wiz is So Hyeong-jun and he is 13-5 with a 3.08 ERA. The Tigers are putting Sean Nolin on the mound and he is 7-8 with a 2.62 ERA.  The Tigers  are hitting at a clip of .271 on the year and have 110 homers and have a team ERA of 4.22. This game here is one that should be interesting from the standpoint that KIA is coming in as the better hitting team, but the worse pitching team. Look for the Tigers to play better and for this game here to hit the over here as both of these teams are putting a starting pitcher on the mound who has not been that good against the opposing team.

KBO Free Pick: Over 8.5

Samsung Lions vs Doosan Bears, DOO -132 ; O/U 8.5

The Lions are sitting 64-76-2 record. The Bears have a 60-80-2 record. The Lions are hitting at a clip of .269 with 101 homers and a team ERA of 4.33. The pitching for the Lions  is Kim Yun-su and he is 3-3 with a 6.75 ERA. The Bears are putting Gwak Been on the mound and he is 8-8 with a 3.63 ERA. The Bears are hitting at a clip of .256 on the year and have hit 99 homers and have a team ERA of 4.42. The game here should be one that the Lions should be able to control, but the key exception is Gwak Been has throwing really well against the Lions and that will make a difference in this game here as the Bears are able to get the win. 

KBO Free Pick: Doosan Bears -132
