Lotte Giants vs NC Dinos 4/26/24 Pick: NC Dinos
NC has already managed to jump out to a series lead against the Giants by a 2-1 mark. However, that was on the road and now the Dinos are playing the host team and that will give the NC club a little bit of a bump in momentum. However, the Dinos are going to be hungry to get out of the slump they were in against the Bears and sadly for the Giants that means they are in the cross hairs and that makes it easier for me to see the Dinos getting the win.
