Hanwha Eagles vs. Kiwoom Heroes Betting Preview With Pick – May 8, South Korean KBO League

Both teams have won two and lost one so far, but I think the spirit will be different. The Hanhwa Eagles will be more than happy with their results against one of the top sides in the country. The SK Wyverns were contained for most of the first three encounters which was unexpected.

At the same time, the Kiwoom Heroes looked set to win three in a row against KIA but failed spectacularly on Thursday, allowing five runs in the eight winning which lead to an 8-5 defeat that certainly hurts.

I believe that the Kiwoom Heroes will be eager to make up for that bitter loss on Thursday, so they will be focused from the first to the very last minute against the Eagles. It won’t be easy, but I expect the Heroes to prevail.

The biggest dangers lies in the opponents’ pitchers. If the Eagles can repeat match their performance from the first and third game against SK, they might have a chance.

Assuming Hanwha doesn’t explode for a six-run inning, Kiwoom should be in good shape to beat the Eagles on Friday. Hanwha has put a goose egg on the scoreboard in the 21 of the 27 innings they have played.

Meanwhile, Kiwoom ranks second in the KBO in total bases (47) and second in runs scored (19).
