Best KBO Predictions Today (With Reasoning), September 12
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.
Kiwoom Heroes vs. Hanwha Eagles: Hanwha Eagles -1.5 (-125)
Laying the runline with Hanwha is more than justified with Cody Ponce on the mound. The rookie right-hander has been elite, owning a 1.76 ERA and 0.90 WHIP across the season. He’s already dismantled the Heroes three times in 2025, racking up a 3-0 record and 1.90 ERA in the matchup. Simply put, Ponce dominates bad teams, and Kiwoom fits the mold.
HUGE congratulations to Hanwha Eagles pitcher Cody Ponce (@Cody_Ponce48), who broke the #KBO record for strikeouts in a single season: 226!

Offensively, Kiwoom continues to fail. They sit dead last in team batting average at .242 and haven’t shown any signs of life against quality arms. That’s a bad combo heading into a matchup against one of the KBO’s most consistent arms.
Ha Yeong-min doesn’t offer much resistance. His 5.32 ERA is rough on its own, but his 8.68 ERA against Hanwha is downright brutal. With a soft arm on the mound and no punch in the lineup, Kiwoom is up against it. Hanwha should cruise here and cover comfortably on the runline for your KBO picks today.
NC Dinos vs. LG Twins: LG Twins Moneyline (-132)
The LG Twins are the smart side on the moneyline with Song Seung-ki leading the charge. The right-hander is dialed in lately, holding opponents to three or fewer earned runs in eight of his last nine starts. He’s been even sharper against NC, posting a 1.59 ERA and a perfect 2-0 mark against the Dinos this season.
That kind of matchup history is difficult to ignore, especially with Riley Thompson on the other side. While Thompson has been respectable overall with a 3.70 ERA, his work against the Twins hasn’t been quite as sharp. He carries a 4.30 ERA and an even 2-2 record in the head-to-head, which doesn’t stack up to Song’s efficiency and consistency.
LG has the better arm on the mound and the track record to back it up. That makes them the clear value on the moneyline in the KBO today.
