Hanwha Eagles vs Doosan Bears 4/9/24 Pick: Hanwha Eagles
The Eagles have been on a losing skid recently, but we still are going to go with the Eagles in this game here. The Bears are simply not that good of a pitching team and have not really looked that good at keeping the opponents in check. That will make it easier for the Eagles to get a jump in the game and secure the win in this game here.
