KBO Daily Match-Ups and Picks for May 28th

Kia Tigers @ KT Wiz

Pitching Match-up: 양현종 (Yang Hyeun-Jong) vs. 소형준 (So Hyeung-Joon)

Prediction: KT Wiz. The established veteran versus the young rising star. This should be a reasonably close game with good pitching, but I could see KT busting out against Hyeun-Jong, and even if they don’t, they should win this one in a low-scoring affair if the bullpen has finally mended itself.

LG Twins @ HanHwa Eagles

Pitching Match-up: 켈리 (Casey Kelly) vs. 서폴드 (Warwick Saupold)

Prediction: LG Twins. Kelly is a good pitcher and LG is just too good for HanHwa to handle on most nights. LG has the edge in almost every category that matters.

 

*********************************

Samsung Lions @ Lotte Giants

Pitching Match-up: 허윤동 (Heo Yoon-Dong) vs. 샘슨 (Adrian Sampson)

Prediction: Lotte Giants. One of the tougher matches to call on the night, but I think Sampson should have a decent start and Lotte should be able to manufacture some runs against Yoon-dong. I wouldn’t be too scared to place some money on the over in this one.

 

*********************************

SK Wyverns @ Doosan Bears

Pitching Match-up: 이건욱 (Lee Gun-Ook) vs. 이용찬 (Lee Yong-Chan)

Prediction: Doosan Bears. I’ve been believing SK would break out, but they haven’t, and now they go up against a good veteran pitcher with the knowledge that even if they score some runs, it probably won’t be more than the Bears (or even Fernandez by himself) will score.

 

*********************************

Ki-Oom Heroes @ NC Dinos

Pitching Match-up: 정대현 (Jeong Dae-Hyeun) vs. 김영규 (Kim Young-Gyoo)

Prediction: Ki-Oom Heroes. Unlike Doosan, I don’t believe NC will finish off this sweep. I expect a high-scoring game with early bullpen entries, so it really could go either way, but I’ll go with the away team in this one.
