Doosan Bears vs Lotte Giants 4/7/24 Pick: Lotte Giants
Doosan is going to have their hands full in this game and after getting crushed in the last game, the Bears for whatever reason are going with a bullpen starter. That is going to really cost the Bears in this game here as the Giants are putting a good starter on the mound who has not had any decisions, but will do well enough to leave this game with a win.
