NC Dinos vs KT Wiz 5/8/24 Pick: NC Dinos
The Dinos I think are the better overall team, but are playing on the road in this game here. That is going to keep the game really close on the day and could allow KT to hang around towards the end of the game. However, once the game is turned over to the bullpen of the Wiz it will be easier to see the Dinos offense coming to life and securing the victory as long as Castano is able to keep the Wiz offense in check.
