Hanwha vs KT Game Preview and Betting Recommendations
Hanwha
The game between Hanwha and KT will be held on July 2 at 6:30 PM.
Ryan Weiss (1 win 0.00) is aiming for his second win of the season. In his debut on the Korean stage on the 25th, against Doosan at home, Weiss secured a victory with an impressive performance: 6 innings, 4 hits, 7 strikeouts, and no runs allowed. Pitching at home again could be a strength for Weiss. Hanwha's batting lineup scored 4 runs against Wilkerson in the Friday game but failed to shake Lotte's bullpen, resulting in a disappointing loss. The team's weakness in the later innings could be an issue throughout the series, and the struggling bullpen needs to improve.
KT
William Cuevas (4 wins 7 losses 4.06) is aiming for his fifth win of the season. Cuevas showed a poor performance with 4 runs in 6 innings in a home game against Lotte on the 20th. Over the last three games, his pitching has not been good. Although Cuevas had a strong performance with 2 runs in 7 innings in an away game against Hanwha on March 29, his recent games are concerning. Despite winning, KT's batting lineup only managed 2 runs in both games of a doubleheader on Sunday, highlighting a significant scoring issue. Besides Rojas and Kang Baek-ho, a few more players need to step up to improve scoring. Kim Min and Park Young-hyun, who pitched in both games, will need rest.
Comment
Recently, Hanwha has shown better performance at home compared to away games. They have a good chance against the struggling Cuevas. The key issue is KT's lineup, as their lackluster performance in the doubleheader is problematic, and Weiss's pitching is tough for teams seeing him for the first time. Hanwha also seems to have no weaknesses in their bullpen for this series. With the home advantage, Hanwha is closer to victory.
