LG Twins vs Samsung Lions 4/25/24 Pick: LG Twins
The Twins are putting the better starter on the mound here, but also are doing better on the hitting side of the ball. With that being the case we are going to expect to see the small ball coming into play here. That also defaults to the Twins who are able to run the base paths a lot better than the Twins. With that being the case, I look for the Twins to get the win in this game rather easily.
