Samsung Lions vs NC Dinos 5/12/24 Pick: Under 9.5
The game here will actually be a very good match that will be back and forth. The main feature of this game will be the fact that neither one of these teams with all of their offensive prowess will be able to score many runs because of the starting pitchers that are heading to the mound here. With that being the case we are thinking that the under is going to be the winner in this game here.
