Hanwha Eagles vs KT Wiz 4/23/24 Pick: Hanwha Eagles
The Wiz are doing a decent job of hitting, but the Wiz hitting is not keeping pace with the lack of quality pitching. The pitching is key here and the fact that the Eagles are the third best pitching team in the KBO will keep this game down on the scoring and allows the Eagles to secure the win over the KT Wiz in this game.
