Best KBO Predictions Today (With Reasoning), August 8
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.
Hanwha Eagles vs. LG Twins: Under 7.5 (-125)
When Ryu Hyun-jin and Im Chan-kyu take the mound, offense tends to disappear, and that’s precisely the setup for this Hanwha vs. LG clash.
Ryu has owned the Twins this season, allowing just two earned runs across two starts for a 1.38 ERA and an unbeaten mark. The veteran lefty has stayed sharp, carrying a 3.55 ERA through over 91 innings and limiting damage with two or fewer earned runs in five straight outings.

On the flip side, Im has been a nightmare for Hanwha hitters. The right-hander has mowed them down in two previous meetings, racking up a 0.41 ERA and a 2–0 record. His full-season numbers are just as impressive with a 2.91 ERA and nine wins, reinforcing his consistency.
With both starters dealing and recent form backing it up, this game shapes up as a grind. The under looks like the correct side between two clubs likely to struggle at the plate.
Doosan Bears vs. Kiwoom Heroes: Doosan -1.5 (-139)
The Kiwoom Heroes may have lit up the scoreboard with a three‑game sweep over the NC Dinos, piling up 30 runs, but that feels more like an outlier than a trend.
The Heroes are still anchoring the league in key offense metrics with only a .240 team batting average and 388 RBIs. Regression is looming for the Heroes against the Bears!
Kiwoom’s starting pitcher, Kim Yun‑ha, hasn’t been sharp either, entering this matchup with a bloated 5.68 ERA. On the other side stands Doosan’s rookie Zach Logue, who has been rock solid, tallying a 3.20 ERA overall and he has been particularly effective against Kiwoom, with a stingy 1.29 ERA in his lone appearance to date.

Combining shaky at‑bats with a pitcher in a groove against that lineup, the ingredients point toward a comfortable Doosan win. The runline looks like the smart play here as Logue paves the way to a multi‑run victory.
