Hanwha Eagles vs Kiwoom Heroes 4/5/24 Pick: Under 9
The Eagles are coming to the game here with the better hitting and markedly better run production. However, not only are the Eagles better on the hitting side of the plate the Eagles are better as an overall pitching team. Now, one thing that will actually be what we like here is the under. That comes from the fact that both of these pitchers are playing good on the year so far and we do not see that changing in this game here.
