Samsung Lions vs. Hanwha Eagles: Under 8 (-115)
Game 1 of the KBO semifinals between the Samsung Lions and Hanwha Eagles sets up as a true pitcher’s duel, making the under 8 runs (–115) a sharp play.
Gerson Garabito comes in with a 2.64 ERA and 1.19 WHIP, and has allowed one or fewer earned runs in three of his last four starts. Against the Eagles, he’s been untouchable, with a 0.00 ERA over 11 innings in two outings.
Meanwhile, Cody Ponce has been dominant all season: a 1.89 ERA and a staggering 17–1 record. He’s limited opponents to two or fewer earned runs in 12 of his past 15 starts and blanked the Lions over six innings in their last meeting.
Last night, Cody Ponce became the first pitcher in KBO history to strike out 250 batters in a single season
He also became the first foreign pitcher (27th overall) to put up a sub-2 ERA in Korea
