Hanwha Eagles vs NC Dinos 4/17/24 Pick: NC Dinos
I am looking at the Dinos again in this game. The Dinos hit a slump and went to extra innings before losing the last game. However, the Dinos are going to have a good run in this game as their starting pitching should be able to keep the pitching from Hanwha in check rather easily. Look for that to make the difference in this game here as the Dinos pick up a win.
