Doosan Bears vs Samsung Lions 4/16/24 Pick: Over 9.5
Well, I have to say that picking the over in a game that features a couple of teams that are horrible in hitting is definitely not something I would normally do. However, the Bears and the Lions are putting pitchers on the mound who have been known to get rocked and the team pitching for the Lions is horrible and has been rocked on a consistent basis. Look for that to continue in this game here as the pitching is unable to do much in the game.
