Kia Tigers vs KT Wiz 4/4/24 Pick: KIA Tigers
The Wiz are putting a better starter on the mound in this game, but Cuevas does not have any decisions on the year and that is mainly because the bullpen has blown the games. Look for that to be the case in this game here as the Tigers are able to keep the game close and once it gets handed over to the Wiz bullpen the Tigers are going to bring home a big win.
