Kiwoom Heroes vs Hanwha Eagles 5/10/24 Pick: Hanwha Eagles
The Eagles are coming into the game here with a dismal offensive showing in their last game. However, the major let down for the Eagles was the pitching in the game as the Eagles were completely crushed by the Giants. The Eagles in this game, though, will come in and have a chance to bring their offense to life and balance it out with the pitching to keep the Kiwoom Heroes in check.
