LG Twins vs NC Dinos 4/30/24 Pick: NC Dinos
This is a game that really could go either way with both of these teams putting a starting pitcher on the mound who has struggled on the year. Look for those struggles to start to show up here as we expect this to also be a game that hits the over 9.5. Still, for a winner we like the Dinos and their better overall pitching staff to help secure the win on the day.
