The KT Wiz vs Lotte Giants 4/21/24 game 2 is taking place at 4:30 AM EST. The game is being held at Sajik Baseball Stadium and will be one that could potentially be rained out as the rains are moving into Korea. The game is set to be broadcast on KBS N Sports locally. This is a game that is the closing game of a double header after the game on Saturday was rained out.
KT Wiz Preview
The Wiz are coming in after getting a loss handed to them by the Lotte Giants in the opening game of the weekend series. The loss came with a score of 4-3 in what was a hard fought game. The loss dropped the Wiz to 9th place in the KBO, but are sitting on a 7-17 record on the year overall.
With this being the second game of the double header it will be interesting to see who the Wiz are going to put on the mound in this game here. The game is one that should have a decent starter for KT standards, but even then the pitching depth is severely lacking. As a team the Wiz are the worst in the KBO with a 6.81 ERA. However, the Wiz have given up 280 hits and 22 homers. The opponents are hitting at a clip of .322 and the WHIP sits at 1.78.
The Wiz are heading in hitting at a clip of only .274 on the season with 121 runs scored. The Wiz have ended up getting 237 hits with 33 doubles, 3 triples, but have managed to play great power with 25 homers. The Wiz have ended up getting a total of 13 steals and have been caught stealing 6 times on the season.
Lotte Giants Preview
Lotte is heading into the game here after still sitting in 10th place in the KBO currently. However, the Giants are sitting on a record that is sitting at 6-16 on the year overall. That could improve against the weak Wiz team here. The stats could change in this game here as it is the second half of a double header.
Lotte could have the upper hand in this game for the pitching with a better starter on the mound. That better starter is up in the air as the starters are not announced yet, but the Giants do have a better depth when it comes to the pitching roster. When it comes to pitching Lotte has ended up with a 5.10 ERA and a has allowed 222 hits and 22 homers. The Giants are letting the opponents hit at a clip of .295 on the year with a 1.59 WHIP.
The Giants are heading into the game here hitting horrible with a .256 average and only 84 runs scored. The Giants have recorded 198 hits with 31 doubles, 5 triples, but also 11 homers. The Giants have stolen 24 bases and been thrown out 8 times.
KT Wiz vs Lotte Giants 4/21/24 Game 2 Pick: Lotte Giants
Well, this is a game that will be interesting from the fact that these two horrible teams are playing in a double header. However, the Giants are coming in with a slightly better pitching depth in the game here and that can make a difference. Still, the hitting for Lotte could be called into question, but I do not think that will be an issue in this game here.
