Landers vs Heroes 5/18/24 Pick: SSG Landers
SSG is putting the better starter on the mound here and that will help the Landers team keep the Heroes offense in check. However, the Landers team is one that is going to have a lot of issues in needing to get the run support for Elias. With that being the case we are going to take the Landers club as we do not think that the Heroes team will be able to keep the SSG offense in check.
