Hanwha Eagles vs Kiwoom Heroes 4/7/24 Pick: Hanwha Eagles
I like the Eagles in this game here. The Hanwha team has the better offense at times, but in this game are facing a far worse starting pitcher. That is going to make the difference in the game here as the Eagles are able to jump out to a lead and for a change hold onto the lead.
