Hanwha Eagles vs NC Dinos 4/18/24 Pick: NC Dinos
This is a game that will be impressive from a pitching standpoint. Both of these starters have done good on the year overall, but some have just been missing run support. With that being the case we are taking the NC Dinos to pull out the win in this game as Castano has been able to go deeper into the games and that will make it easier for the Dinos to get the win secured in the game here.
