NC Dinos vs Samsung Lions 4/12/24 Pick: NC Dinos
This is one game that will be slanted heavily towards the much better NC Dinos team. The Dinos have the better offense, but also a pitching staff that has been very hard to hit on. Look for the Dinos, with their lack of power, but much better base running to be able to get the win rather easily in this game here.
