Kia Tigers vs LG Twins 4/27/24 Pick: LG Twins
The Tigers are slumping hard lately and it has shown. The Tigers are also putting a reliever on the mound to start the game, but not only is it a reliever it is one who has control issues. Look for those issues to haunt the Tigers in this game here as the Twins are able to easily secure the win in the game based off of horrible starting pitching and better base running.
