The Kiwoom Heroes vs Doosan Bears 4/21/24 game 2 is set to take place at 4:30 AM EST and the best part is the fans are getting a double treat as the game on Saturday was rained out! The game is taking place at Jamsil Baseball Stadium. What else is interesting is the Heroes vs Bears game is being only on SPOTV after the opening game of the double header gets two networks.
Kiwoom Heroes
The Heroes are heading into this game after getting shelled in their last game. The Heroes last game ended up being a loss against the Doosan Bears by a score of 19-8. The loss dropped the Heroes to 4th place in the KBO and are now sitting on a 12-9 record on the year. This is part of a double header game so the stats are subject to change after the first game.
As you can imagine the starter has not been announced for the second game of the day. However, since this is the second game of the day it is noted that the Heroes will most likely be using a bullpen pitcher to throw in the game here. The Heroes have posted a team ERA of 4.86 with 195 hits and 20 homers on the year. The Heroes have allowed the opponents to hit at a clip of .269 with a 1.49 WHIP.
Kiwoom has managed to hit at a clip of .279 on the year with 124 runs scored. The Heroes have ended up getting 204 hits on the season with 37 doubles, 4 triples, and 25 homers on the year. The Kiwoom club has ended up getting 9 stolen bases on the year but have been thrown out 2 times.
Doosan Bears Preview
The win for the Bears was a huge victory and one that blew the opponent out of the blue. The Bears are now ranking in 8th place in the KBO on the year. Still the record for Doosan is now sitting a 10-14 on the year overall. As mentioned in the Heroes preview this is part of a double header so the stats are subject to change.
The Bears could have their hands full in the second game as their bullpen, which will most likely start the second game, is not that good at going deep. With that being the case, the Bears are going to have to find out who to put on the mound and hope they are able to overcome the challenges of starting a game. The Bears are posting a team ERA of 4.93 with 226 hits and 22 homers allowed. The Doosan club is allowing the opponent to hit at a clip of .268 with a 1.54 WHIP.
The hitting for the Bears is the worst in the KBO with a .254 average and 125 runs scored. The Bears have managed to get 204 hits with 39 doubles, 6 triples, and 25 homers. The Doosan club has been good at stealing the bases when they get on base with 21 steals and only 7 batters thrown out so far.
Kiwoom Heroes vs Doosan Bears 4/21/24 Game 2 Pick: Kiwoom Heroes
Just like in the first game I am going to back the Heroes in the second game of the double header. Yes, the Bears will put up a decent fight, but the Heroes have a deeper bench with talent and should be able to bring the game to the Bears. Look for the Heroes to be able to rely on their bench depth and quality bench depth to secure the win.
