KT Wiz vs Kiwoom Heroes 4/16/24 Pick: Kiwoom Heroes
This is one game that we have an easy time calling. We are definitely picking the Kiwoom Heroes. Granted, Cuevas will do good in striking out the opponents, but he has some issues when it comes to getting run support. With that being the case we think the Heroes will wait out the pitching from Cuevas and do just enough offensively to secure the win.
