Best KBO Predictions Today (With Reasoning), September 20
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.
Hanhwa Eagles vs. KT Wiz: Under 7.5 (-120)
The Hanwha Eagles and KT Wiz are set for a classic pitchers’ duel on Saturday after yesterday’s game was washed out. On the mound, Cody Ponce brings elite form to the ballpark.
His 1.70 earned run average and 0.90 WHIP have made him the most reliable arm in the KBO. He is unbeaten this season at 17‑0 and owns a 0.93 ERA in four starts against the KT Wiz.
Cody Ponce was literally in tears after tying #KBO record for most Ks in a game. Former big leaguer said after the game that he thought of his mother who passed away in ‘17. #HanwhaEagles starter finished the game w/ 18 Ks. 👏👏👏 pic.twitter.com/ljHhnmg4jD

Across the mound, Ko Young‑pyo may not match Ponce’s record, but he has been more than capable. In 26 appearances, he holds a 3.11 ERA with a 1.23 WHIP. Nine of his last 12 outings have seen him allow two or fewer earned runs, which shows consistency under pressure.
This matchup screams Under. With two proven pitchers who limit baserunners and avoid big innings, the total should stay low. Back the under for your KBO best bets in the Eagles vs. Wiz matchup.
Kiwoom Heroes vs. Lotte Giants: Lotte -1.5 (-145)
The Lotte Giants are well-positioned to cover the runline against a slumping Kiwoom Heroes squad. Alec Gamboa takes the ball for Lotte and brings a calm, consistent presence to the mound.
Across 17 appearances, he holds a 2.80 ERA and 1.27 WHIP, giving up three or fewer earned runs in all but two starts. Most notably, he’s completely shut out the Heroes through 14 scoreless innings this season.
Offensively, Kiwoom continues to languish at the bottom of the KBO with a .244 team batting average. That lack of firepower makes it even harder to trust them to stay competitive, especially with Park Jeong-hun making just his third start of the year. Park has been ineffective so far, coughing up 10 earned runs in just 6.2 innings and entering with a 6.04 ERA and 1.70 WHIP.
With Gamboa locked in and the matchup heavily tilted, the Giants should cruise past the runline.
