Best KBO Predictions Today (With Reasoning), August 13
There are important things to know before betting on the KBO. Luckily, if you don’t have time to do your own research, you can discover how we selected our KBO baseball picks each day.
KIA Tigers vs. Samsung Lions: Under 9.5 (-117)
The KIA Tigers clash with the Samsung Lions in Game 2 of a three‑game set at Daegu’s Samsung Lions Park in what shapes up as a low‑scoring duel. Adam Oller and Ariel Jurado take the mound in a matchup where both hurlers bring controlled, consistent arms, even in the high‑scoring KBO.

Oller, at 8‑4 with a tidy 3.41 ERA, has held opponents to two or fewer earned runs in nine of his last twelve starts. His steady command continues to anchor KIA’s rotation as he settles into his first KBO campaign and looks poised to deliver another efficient outing.
Jurado has equally impressed with a 2.64 ERA, allowing no more than three earned runs in seven consecutive starts and two or fewer earned runs in nine of his past thirteen outings. With both pitchers cruising, the posted total of 9.5 feels inflated. Pick the under!
LG Twins vs. KT Wiz: LG Twins (-149)
The LG Twins appear ready to assert control over the KT Wiz in this matchup. The pitching matchup heavily favors the Twins, with Song Seung‑ki facing off against the struggling Bae Je‑seong.
Song brings a steady 3.15 ERA and 1.29 WHIP across 20 starts, building strong form by allowing two or fewer earned runs in four of his last five outings. He’s exuding confidence and will be tough to crack, especially considering that in his one previous start against the Wiz this season, he was sensational with no runs conceded over five innings.
On the flip side, Bae Je‑seong has had a rough go, registering a 4.76 ERA and 1.68 WHIP in seven games. His recent stretch is particularly alarming: eight earned runs in only 7.1 innings pitched.
Expect the Twins to ride Song’s hot hand and secure a win on the moneyline.
