Hanwha Eagles vs Doosan Bears 4/11/24 Pick: Doosan Bears
The pitching for the Eagles has started to look horrible on the year lately and that will continue to be an issue. The Bears in this game are putting a lot better pitcher on the mound that has not really been scored on much this year or even hit hard. Look for that type of play to continue in the game here for Waddell who has looked very impressive on the mound and will stymie the hitting from Hanwha.
