Lions vs Landers 5/14/24 Pick: Samsung Lions
This is a game that I do not see the Landers being able to do much at all in. The Lions are coming in with a better starter that has only dropped one game on the year and I do not see that changing in this game here. Not to mention the starter for SSG is struggling on the year so far and has not really looked impressive to me lately. That is going to make it really easy for me to see the Samsung Lions getting the win in this game here.
