Samsung Lions vs Doosan Bears 5/1/24 Pick: Doosan Bears
The Bears are putting a great starter on the mound in this game and it will show. Waddell will be able to keep the Samsung offense in check the entire game and with his pitching prowess will be able to go deeper into the game here. That is going to make it easier for the Bears to get the win in the game as the Lions struggle on the day to get a lot of run production on the day which makes the under a strong win here.
