Hanwha Eagles vs NC Dinos 4/16/24 Pick: NC Dinos
I have to say in this game here I think the starting pitching will be level out and not give any team a distinct advantage. However, the Eagles are a team that can surprise with some pop in their bats, but I do not think that it will be enough to bring the Eagles to a win over the Dinos in this game here and with that being the case I am taking the Dinos to win the game.
