NC Dinos vs Samsung Lions 4/13/24 Pick: NC Dinos
Kyle Hart is coming in with a great chance to pick up another win on the year. Hart has pitched great on the season so far and will continue to pitch great coming into this game here. However, one thing that will really shape up is the fact that the Lions pitching staff has been downright horrible. Look for that to continue to be a plaguing problem for the Lions in this game here.
