Landers vs Heroes 5/19/24 Pick: SSG Landers
The Landers club I think will be able to play better on the day here. I feel that the pitching for SSG is going to have a better game on the mound and that is going to keep the Heroes offense in check in this game here. Look for the Heroes pitching, though, to have a lot of issues with the power that is coming from the Landers club. That is what will make it easier to see the Landers club securing the win in this game here.
