Samsung Lions vs Hanwha Eagles 4/19/24 Pick: Hanwha Eagles
Hanwha has been disappointing me lately, but in this game here I have to take the home team. Both of these teams are fairly even but the Eagles have the better pitching. That is going to make the difference in the game here as the Eagles are able to keep the Samsung offense in check and that will allow the Lions to secure the win in this game here.
