The hitting for Doosan sits at an average of .278 with a total of 9 homers, but the pitching has shown marked improvement. The pitching is now sitting on a team ERA of 4.06 on the season.
Gawk Been is heading to the mound for the Bears. Been has posted a 5.40 ERA and a 1.60 WHIP in his starter on the year. In his start Gwak lasted 5 innings and gave up 3 runs and 6 hits, but did not give up a homer. Gwak Been did walk a total of 2 batters, but was doing great on the strikeout department with 9 strikeouts in the game.
Tigers vs Bears Pick: Doosan Bears
Gwak Been looked impressive in his start, but did give the ball up after only 5 innings. That will help the Bears out in this game as long as the bullpen is ready. Still, facing a good pitcher in Yoon Young-cheol the pressure will be on the Bears offense to produce. We do look for the Bears offense to jump out in this game here and bring home the win, but for the game to be close.
