Shinsegae at KT
SUWON, South Korea (Interstat) — The KT Wiz will look to continue their dominance over the Shinsegae Landers when the teams meet Wednesday evening at Suwon Baseball Stadium.
First pitch is scheduled for 7 p.m. under cloudy skies. The temperature is forecast to be 81 degrees.
KT enters the game with the league’s best record at 42-28, riding a wave of confidence after a 13-2 rout of Shinsegae on Tuesday. The Wiz have won four of their last five meetings with the Landers. Shinsegae, meanwhile, sits at 29-41-2, having lost eight of its last 10.
Players to watch
Shinsegae center fielder Guillermo Heredia has been a rare bright spot. Over his last 10 games, Heredia is batting .346 (9-for-26) with four home runs and 10 RBIs. In Tuesday’s loss, he went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBIs.
KT right fielder Ahn Hyun-min delivered the knockout blow in that game, going 2-for-3 with a home run and seven RBIs. He has hit safely in six of his last seven games.
Series history
The teams have split 10 meetings this season, 5-5. However, KT has won four of the last five, including a three-game sweep at home in May. The Wiz have outscored Shinsegae 51-27 over that stretch.
Projection
Interstat’s game simulator projects a 5-2 KT victory. The ELO system gives the Wiz a 61.6 percent probability of winning.
Up next
The two teams conclude the series Thursday. Shinsegae then hosts Hanwha for three games starting Friday. KT travels to Samsung for a three-game set beginning Friday.
