Kiwoom Heroes vs SSG Landers 4/9/24 Pick: Kiwoom Heroes
SSG has been such a dominating force lately that it is very difficult to pick against the Landers club. However, the pitching is not at the same level as normal for an SSG team and that is what makes the difference in this game here. The Heroes are going to have a good run here and be able to bring home a win in the game here over the SSG club.
