Lotte Giants vs NC Dinos 4/28/24 Pick: NC Dinos
Lotte has not been good on the road at all this year. The Giants, though, overall have struggled and it really has shown up with the lack of run production, lowest total by almost 30 runs on the year and are now facing one of the top teams in runs and the top team in pitching. That is going to make it easier to see the NC club getting the win here, but we do think the total goes under as the Giants do not help produce any runs for the total.
