KT Wiz vs Kiwoom Heroes 4/18/24 Pick: Kiwoom Heroes
The starting pitching matchup definitely lines up to the Heroes. The Heroes are putting a lot better starter on the mound in this game and are going to have a good chance of jumping out to an early lead when facing Benjamin, who has struggled. Throw in the fact that Wes Benjamin gives up a ton of homers and the Heroes are a good home run hitting team and that makes it easier for us to see the Heroes winning in this game.
