Doosan Bears vs Kiwoom Heroes 5/9/24 Pick: Under 9.5
In this game here I still do not like the offenses in being able to produce a lot of runs. That is going to make it easier for us to find the under being the part that gets the hit in this game here. Still, we really think the pitchers are going to set the pace as well and with that being the case, we do not think that the offenses show up here.
