SSG Landers vs NC Dinos 4/5/24 Pick: NC Dinos
SSG and NC are both playing really well on the year. However, in this game we are going to back the team that is putting a true starter on the mound and that is NC. The pitching from Lee Guen-wook is not that good on the season overall and it has come from the bullpen. With a bullpen pitcher it is unlikely that the Landers team will see him go deep in the game and coming off of extra innings the Landers team will have a tired pen.
