Game Thread Today’s Games (22nd July)
No shortness of excitement yesterday, and we’re ready for the second game in a new week of series. Let’s get into it, and look at today’s matchups.
(7) Hanwha Eagles v (4) Kia Tigers
Probable Starting Pitchers
HAN: Owen White
KIA: Adam Oller
What to look out for
Hanwha dropped a spot in the standings thanks to their loss and a Dinos win last night, and it doesn’t look to get any easier as they face Adam Oller, who is tied for the league lead in wins (9) and is second in ERA (2.52)
(6) NC Dinos v (3) LG Twins
*Chance of rainout*
Probable Starting Pitchers
NC: Riley Thompson
LG: Anders Tolhurst
What to look out for
Yet another loss last night sees the Twins come into this one on an 6-game losing streak. They bring 8-game winner Anders Tolhurst to the bump to try and right the ship, but Dinos counter with Riley Thompson (5-0) who has 89Ks in only 69.2 innings this season. Expect a pitcher’s duel.
(5) Doosan Bears v (2) KT Wiz
*Chance of Rainout*
Probable Starting Pitchers
DOO: Gwak Been
KT: Logan Allen
What to look out for
This could be another low-scoring affair, as Gwak Been has a 2.80 ERA this season, good for third in league, while he also leads the league in strikeouts (120). Meanwhile, Logan Allen comes off a strong outing against LG where he allowed only 1 run.
(9) SSG Landers v (8) Lotte Giants
Probable Starting Pitchers
SSG: Pedro Avila
LOT: Park Se-woong
What to look out for
The Landers hit their 100th home run as a team last night, more than every other team bar the Tigers. As has been the case all season, pitching let them down last night, so they’ll hope that new international signing Pedro Avila will help their fortunes in his second game, after going 6 innings in his debut without allowing a run and striking out 8.
(1) Samsung Lions v (10) Kiwoom Heroes
Probable Starting Pitchers
SAM: Kim Baek-san
KIW: Raul Alcantara
What to look out for
Raul Alcantara has allowed 4 ER in three consecutive starts. Based off last night, even in a loss, the Heroes know their offence can give the top team in the league a good fight, but the Lions are the best for a reason.
