The Wiz have a 49-41-2 record. The Dinos have a 37-51-3 record. The Wiz are hitting at a clip of .255 with 76 homers and a team ERA of 3.62. The pitching for the Wiz is Odrisamer Despaigne and he is 5-8 with a 4.47 ERA. The Dinos are putting Shin Min-hyeok on the mound and he is 3-5 with a 4.23. The Dinos are hitting at a clip of .253 on the year and have 62 homers and have a team ERA of 3.98. With the game here it will definitely be a tail of two teams. The Wiz are hitting better and pitching better, but also looking like a good team with a so-so starter. Either way, no matter who wins look for the over to be the winning blow in this game.
