KT Wiz vs LG Twins 4/5/24 Pick: LG Twins
The Wiz simply do not have a pitching staff on the year. That is going to show up in this game against here as the Twins are actually playing really well and have a good pitching staff overall, but have a lot of power and pop in their bats. We look for the Twins to control the game here rather easily as the Wiz are able to hit, but are unable to do much on the day here.
