The KT Wiz are coming here after losing in their last game. The loss for the Wiz came against the Doosan Bears by a score of 7-3. The loss dropped the KT team to a record of 17-22-1 overall, which is 7th place in the KBO. On the road the Wiz have posted a 7-14-1 record.
The Wiz have not announced a starter in the game here as it is a double header. However, the Wiz are not having the best luck with the pitching staff overall and that can make it very difficult for the Wiz to secure the win. As a team the Wiz have posted a 5.86 ERA and have allowed 424 hits with 46 homers given up. The Wiz have a .297 opponent average and a 1.57 WHIP.
The Wiz hitting is decent with a .285 average with 221 runs scored. The KT club has ended up with 308 hits, with 61 doubles, 4 triples, and 41 homers. Still, KT has ended up getting 20 stolen bases with only 8 runners thrown out.

Just like the Wiz the Bears have not announced who will be taking to the mound to start this game off. However, the Bears are coming in with a decent pitching staff that has been able to do quite a bit overall to help guide the Bears to some unexpected wins on the season.

KT Wiz vs Doosan Bears 5/12/24 Pick: Doosan Bears
I am going to back the Bears again in this double header. That mainly comes from the fact that Doosan has the better overall pitching staff. That better pitching staff makes it easier for us to see the Bears bringing home the win, but also keeping the Wiz hitters in check in the double header win.
