SSG Landers vs LG Twins 5/8/24 Pick: SSG Landers
In this game here I am really tossed between the teams that are playing. However, the SSG team is putting the better starter on the mound in this game here. However, the Twins are putting Kelly on the mound in this game here and the Twins have managed to control the season series so far. Still, I really think the SSG team is going to be able to rely on their better power in this game here and that makes the game easier to see the Landers team getting the win in this game here.
