Samsung Lions vs Doosan Bears 4/30/24 Pick: Samsung Lions
Samsung is a road warrior team on the year and have been very impressive. The Bears are decent at home, but still are struggling overall and when having Gwak on the mound the Bears offense seems to go missing. That is going to make it easier for us to see the Lions being able to rely on their better pitching and equal hitting to get the win on the year here. Still, with the poor offense for the Bears we would like a team total on the Bears here being under 4.5 runs.
