KT Wiz vs NC Dinos 4/9/24 Pick: NC Dinos
KT is going to have a lot of issues in this game here. Yes, the Wiz have a good offense, but the problem is the pitching is downright horrible. The horror show that has become known as the Wiz pitching will cost the Wiz this game early on as the Dinos are able to thump the Wiz.
