LG Twins vs Kia Tigers 4/11/24 Pick: Over 9.5
Okay, I normally would not take the over when these two good pitching teams are facing against each other. However, in this game here I think that the over will hit as the starting pitchers in the game have a horrible ERA. That tends to translate to a lot of runs being given up early in the game before it can be balanced out with the pitching later on the game. Not to mention these teams can and do hit and run the bases really well. Those factors all combined makes it easier for us to see the over hitting.
