Kia Tigers vs LG Twins 4/28/24 Pick: LG Twins
This game will be another back and forth battle on the day. However, I think that the Twins with their home field advantage will definitely be able to bring home a nice solid win. Granted, the Tigers will put up a good fight and with Crowe on the mound will definitely help keep the game close. With that being the case I do see the LG Twins winning the game, but the total will most likely hit the under 9.5 as well.
