Best KBO Predictions Today (With Reasoning), August 7
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.
KT Wiz vs. Hanwha Eagles: Under 7.5 (-130)
A genuine pitchers’ duel awaits, with Ko Young‑pyo and Ryan Weiss squaring off in what promises to be a low‑scoring contest. Both rank among KBO’s elite starters and look locked in heading into this matchup.
Weiss enters his second season with impressive consistency. Through 124.1 innings, he’s posted a 3.11 ERA with a tidy 1.04 WHIP. He built nicely off his rookie numbers, which were a 3.73 ERA, 1.16 WHIP over 16 starts. He has been stingy recently, allowing one or fewer earned runs in three of his past four outings.

On the opposite side stands Ko Young‑pyo, carrying a 9‑4 record and a 2.93 ERA into this game. His WHIP sits at a solid 1.25 across 19 starts, and he’s riding a five‑start stretch of either zero or one earned runs. With both hurlers shutting down opponents, the scoring ceiling is capped sharply.
Given their form and control, the under at ‑130 stands out as the smart play here.
Doosan Bears vs. LG Twins: LG Twins (-158)
The Twins stand out as a clear value play on Thursday when they send Song Seung‑ki to the mound. Song has been excellent this season, tossing a 3.12 ERA and 1.27 WHIP over 19 appearances. He is especially hot right now, just one earned run allowed across his last 11 innings.
Song’s previous outings against the Bears show why this matchup leans in LG’s favor. He’s logged a 3.50 ERA in three starts versus Doosan, and in his most recent meeting, he held them to one run over six frames for a 1.50 ERA performance.
On the other side, Doosan’s starter Gwak Been has struggled to tame LG’s lineup. He owns a 4.85 ERA in two appearances versus the Twins, and his overall ERA this season sits at 3.66, suggesting he lacks consistency in 2025.

Meanwhile, LG boasts the KBO’s best RBI output this season with 514, proving this bats‑vs‑arms matchup tilts heavily in their direction.
All signs point to the Twins, and backing them on the moneyline at ‑158 feels like the sharp bet of the day.
