NC Dinos vs KT Wiz 5/9/24 Pick: NC Dinos
The Dinos are a team that has looked impressive quite a bit lately and compared to the Wiz, who have struggled the Dinos are an easy pick. Not to mention the Dinos are better at running the base paths better and that leads to more run production than what most of the teams are going to expect and that is what is going to make the difference for the Wiz in this game here as they are unable to keep up with the small ball production.
