Kiwoom Heroes vs Doosan Bears 4/19/24 Pick: Kiwoom Heroes
This is one game that the Heroes should win on the road. The Heroes are the better overall team, but also have a markedly better pitching staff that should do well at keeping the weak hitting from the Bears in check. Look for that to make the difference in this game here as the Heroes control the game on both sides of the ball.
