KT Wiz vs SSG Landers 4/26/24 Pick: Over 9.5
The Landers play at home in this game here and are putting the better starter on the mound in this game here. Those two factors should help the Landers club overcome their slightly weaker hitting department to secure the win. Still with these pitching staffs being so bad and the hitting being good for both of these teams we actually see the over hitting in this game here.
