SSG Landers vs Kia Tigers 5/12/24 Pick: Kia Tigers
The Tigers slump has to end at some point soon. With that being the case, we think the Tigers will finally end up getting a great game here on the offensive side of the ball. However, the Tigers pitching is going to have to keep playing at the same level that they have been to keep themselves close in the game to secure the win for the Tigers, which is exactly what we think the Tigers are going to do.
