KT Wiz vs SSG Landers 4/27/24 Pick: SSG Landers
Landers is putting the better starting pitcher on the mound here and it will show. Granted, Cuevas has been able to do well in the pitching overall, but he has not been getting any of the run support that he needs to have to secure the wins. Look for that to be the case here as the Landers club is able to keep the offense of the Wiz in check and that makes it easier for the Landers club to secure the win on the day.
